Our Vision

OUR VISION Our community is measurably better because of the work of United Way/Centraide Ottawa and others.

OUR MISSION To bring people and resources together to build a strong, healthy, safe community for all.

OUR PROMISE To invest resources where they’re needed the most, and where they’ll have the greatest impact.

Building community… changing lives. In 2006, United Way/Centraide Ottawa made a record community investment to support 177 projects, programs and partnerships, in 98 different community organizations. In the 2006 campaign, United Way/Centraide raised a record $28.2 million.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD A “New Space” — 2006 signalled significant change for United Way/Centraide Ottawa – change that moved us into a new space, in more ways than one. We launched the year with a move to a new physical space at 363 Coventry Road. More significantly, with the hard work and support of donors, volunteers, partners and staff, 2006 also marked a number of achievements that represent the new space United Way/Centraide occupies as a community building organization. Our new headquarters offer a more central, accessible location and provide much-needed meeting space that has benefited United Way/Centraide and the community we serve. Our space is available for community groups and agencies that need meeting facilities. When our six new Impact Councils made up of close to 100 community volunteers launched into action early in the year, we had the space we needed for many meetings and consultations. And we are now expanding our role as a convenor and host of community groups and organizations choosing to work with us and others to ensure coordination of service and program delivery and to affect social change. Our vision for our new home as a true community space has become a reality. We also moved closer to achieving our larger vision — that our community will be measurably better as a result of the work of United Way/Centraide and others. With the deep and specialized knowledge of our Impact Council members, we developed impact plans that focus investments strategically in six impact areas. This was in addition to the work carried out by the dedicated volunteers who serve on the Board of Directors, the Campaign Cabinet, the Community Services Cabinet

“Our vision of our new home as a true community space has become a reality. Last year’s move gave us room to grow — to extend our reach, to invite others to contribute, and to share our space.” Michael Allen, Mark Sutcliffe

BOARD OF DIRECTORS and on our numerous advisory and special initiative committees. Equally important, in consultation with community agencies and others, we began work on new tools that will improve the way we measure the impact of the investment of our donors — tools that agencies will put to use in the coming year. The leadership that these groups bring to the work of United Way/ Centraide is the foundation of our ability to “build a strong, healthy, safe community for all”. United Way/Centraide’s mission requires a broad view of the community as well as the capacity to engage people in many different ways. Under the inspired and inclusive leadership of our community campaign chair, Police Chief Vince Bevan, people responded strongly to the theme “Everyday Heroes,” which underscored that a city isn’t great unless it’s great for everyone. Donors contributed a record $28.2 million — $2.3 million more than in 2005! The participation of donors and volunteers increased in other meaningful ways in 2006, and this growing level of engagement is a strong sign that we can continue to make a difference in this community in the years to come. Last year’s move gave us room to grow — to extend our reach, to invite others to contribute, to share our space and become part of what we do. As always, moving forward we will be sure to stay close to the changes and developments taking place around us, allowing us to remain responsive to our community as issues arise and priorities shift. More and more often we are asked to play a role in key community initiatives — analyzing need, setting agendas, developing resources and bringing people and organizations together.

Whatever the issue, if it is relevant to the realization of our vision, mission and promise — if it is about building community and changing lives — we will make the space to pull up a chair and get involved. As donors, volunteers, agencies and partners, you share with us the special space that United Way/Centraide Ottawa occupies, not just at 363 Coventry Road, but throughout the community: in neighbourhoods, at discussion tables, in everyday lives. Thank you for continuing to contribute to our shared vision of a better community.

This RCMP volunteer team rolled up their sleeves to give a fresh coat of paint to Ottawa Community Housing as part of Day of Caring 2006. “For us, it’s a chance to make a difference in our community,” says Bogena Crockett, RCMP team leader. “This group of community houses is special to us because it’s located in the neighbourhood where we work.”

PEOPLE... United Way/Centraide Ottawa is Fuelled by Community Engagement Each year we mobilize more than 14,000 volunteers. The engagement of these volunteers is essential to our success on many fronts. It allows us to keep our campaign costs among the lowest in North America — about 15 percent; it allows us to leverage additional resources such as “loaned representatives” and donations of gifts in-kind; we benefit from the knowledge and skills of senior volunteers who provide governance, financial and strategic counsel and oversight; and hundreds of agency speakers and those whose lives have been changed generously share their personal stories every year.

Here are a few of the many examples of our community’s engagement during 2006. 218 positions filled by senior volunteers who carried out vital work as dedicated members of the Board of Directors, the Campaign Cabinet, the Community Services Cabinet and numerous other advisory and special initiative committees. 88 Impact Council volunteers with specialized knowledge served on our six councils, connecting and consulting with the community, developing plans for community solutions and guiding investment decisions. 48 loaned representatives were loaned to United Way/Centraide by their employers in order to support the workplace campaigns.

151 Speakers’ Bureau volunteers (agency speakers) shared their stories at 281 workplace campaign events. 876 donors and volunteers participated in Seeing is Believing tours to see how their gifts change lives. 50 community volunteers received surprise Community Builder Awards for their contribution to building community and changing lives. 500 Community Builders are now recognized on the United Way/Centraide Wall of Inspiration at Ottawa City Hall.

1200 Day of Caring volunteers lent a helping hand to agencies at this annual event sponsored by Minto Developments Inc. and organized by United Way/ Centraide, Volunteer Ottawa, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation. 18 youth gave their energy and enthusiasm as Youth Action Panel members, helping invest a total of $56,726 in 31 for-youth-by-youth projects, running events and encouraging others to get involved and make a difference. 1678 Grade 4 and 5 students participated in Caring for Others workshops, organized by United Way/Centraide for children to learn about the meaning of community and volunteering.

“It’s obvious the whole community wanted to make this goal” said campaign chair Chief Vince Bevan, when commenting on the 2006 precedent-setting achievement.* * Total achievement at year-end of $28.2 million includes additional funds raised and collected after the campaign achievement announcement of $27.2 million on November 28, 2006.

RESOURCES... 2006 Resource Development Achievements Reached New Heights The 2006 achievement of $28.2 million marks the largest amount raised by United Way/Centraide in our 73-year history. Over 10 weeks, thousands of campaign volunteers canvassed colleagues, held potlucks, book sales, loonie-toonie races and many other fundraising events to help achieve the campaign goal. These were the real heroes of the campaign. The groundswell of grassroots support showed that we are indeed a very caring community.

Some outstanding resource development high points in 2006 include: $28.2 million 2006 campaign result $27.2 million 2006 campaign goal 8.9 percent annual campaign growth $14.2 million raised by Community Campaign $14 million raised by Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC)* 1800 workplace campaigns, including 78 new campaigns $9.96 million — donated by 6184 leadership donors who each gave $1000 or more

$2.22 million — donated by 183 major donors who each gave $5000 or more

$500,671 growth in Endowment assets which now stands at $2.29 million

1194 new leadership and major donors combined

$2.3 million — value of corporate sponsorship

$3 million in gifts donated through the Retirees Program

$92,062 — received in grants from community and corporate foundations

$1.14 million raised through the Direct Response program, 92 percent from individuals and 8 percent from corporations

$638,189 received in support of the community-wide initiatives Hire Immigrants Ottawa and Success by 6

10.4 percent increase in the average gift in 2006, increased from $223 to $246

*The national GCWCC 2006 achievement was $31 million, of which $17.2 was raised in the national capital region. United Way/Centraide Ottawa receives $14 million of this.

“People in the community need to know it’s not a burden to volunteer and be a special part of someone’s life. You end up getting so much out of it. It would be a cold, cold world if nobody took the time to care about others.” Evangeline Ellicott, Big Brothers Big Sisters volunteer

A quadriplegic since birth, 21 year old Rae Bell never thought about moving into her own apartment. She found a spot in a 24-hour attendant-care residence and Rae is now picking out paint colours and taking her first steps toward independence. Thanks to United Way/Centraide donors, Rae has a place of her own.

STRONG, HEALTHY, SAFE... United Way/Centraide Ottawa Invested a Record $21.5 Million in 2006 To fulfill our mission of building a strong, healthy, safe community for all, as always, in 2006 we supported a variety of essential agency programs. We also invested resources into partnerships and projects that work on long-term solutions to complex community challenges — like Ottawa’s aging population and new Canadians seeking employment and other supports. We work with all kinds of groups to invest resources where they are needed the most: networks, corporate sponsors, labour, community groups, agencies and government partners.

Our priorities are well defined. We invest resources in programs, projects and partnerships that make a difference in six Impact Areas:

Here are highlights of United Way/Centraide’s community investment in 2006, from dollars raised in 2005: $21.5 million: Total community investment

Promoting healthy development for children and youth

8.6 percent: increase over 2005 (up from $19.8 million)

Reducing isolation and enhancing seniors’ quality of life

$10.9 million: invested in United Way/Centraide’s six Impact Areas in support of programs, services and initiatives provided by local community agencies and organizations

Reducing barriers and increasing participation for people with disabilities Strengthening individuals and families in times of need and crisis Reducing barriers and increasing engagement for immigrants

$6,477,872: individual donor-directed investments to more than 1000 registered Canadian charities 81 percent: percent of the total invested in programs and services delivered by agencies

$683,000: in support to the Success By 6 secretariat, Ottawa’s early childhood development initiative $139,095 in support of Internationally Trained Workers Partnership Gifts In-kind: In addition to the above investments, United Way/Centraide’s Gifts In-kind program linked organizations and businesses with goods and services to donate, with local agencies in need. In the past five years, close to $1.2 million worth of in-kind goods and services were donated in our community through United Way/Centraide.
