Ted Fields, President, 2012 Board of Directors
This year, I enjoyed the privilege of serving as the President of the Board of Directors. I appreciate the support provided by many dedicated United Way board members, committee members, and staff.
NFL hall of fame coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”
The individual commitment of our volunteers creates strong teams and programs that make our United Way successful in improving lives in our community. Personal involvement has a tremendous positive impact on our work. Our United Way volunteers move from awareness to engagement to active participation in bringing about positive, lasting change in the quality of life for everyone around us. Eric Butterworth’s illustration also shows the transition our volunteers experience: “I tell you and you forget. I show you and you remember. I involve you and you understand.”
This year, our board and committee members have come to better understand the many dynamics involved in improving the quality of life in our community. Together, they’ve built a fi rm foundation to create opportunities for a better tomorrow for all of us.
Danelle Glasscock, Executive Director, United Way of Greater Kingsport
2012 was a big year for United Way of Greater Kingsport. We achieved our mission to improve lives in our community in three big ways:
1We raised and distributed more dollars than ever before in our history.
2Agencies proved their tremendous and growing impact of their services through a strenuous citizen’s review process.
3Our four community-focused vision councils each identifi ed strategies and started work on tangible initiatives that will create lasting change in community conditions.
These achievements require a lot of people to LIVE UNITED. People like…
• our UWGK Board of Directors who lead and guide our efforts
• our more than 10,000 donors who generously give money each year
• our campaign cabinet who works hard on raising dollars
• our agencies and initiative partners who give selfl essly of themselves for causes they believe in
• our many volunteers who serve in our organization
• our local government, school systems, businesses and industry representatives who collaborate with us
Here’s a big thank you to all the people living united in our Greater Kingsport community. Together, we have accomplished great things!
Teamwork builds success

2012 marked the 125th anniversary of the United Way movement. United Way was organized in 1887 by a group of religious leaders in Denver, Colorado, as a single fund-raising campaign to provide services through 22 agencies.
Some 35 years later, what is known today as the United Way of Greater Kingsport began as a fundraising project of the Kingsport Businessmen’s Club to support local community needs. The organization was chartered as the Community Chest of Kingsport on June 8, 1934.

United Way of Greater Kingsport (UWGK)
understands that we are all connected
and interdependent. We all win when a
child succeeds in school, individuals and
families are financially stable, and people are healthy.
Advancing the common good happens when we collectively take
action on the root causes of our community’s most compelling
issues. It is only then that we make the lasting changes in
community conditions that improve people’s lives.
To that end, representatives from our member agencies,
community organizations, and caring volunteers have identified
and prioritized strategies aimed at tackling three root cause
issues, our Community Impact Strategies: Early Grade Reading,
Life Coaching, and Affordable Dental Care.
As the people who live and work here in Greater Kingsport, we
best understand these pressing issues and can work together to
create positive, sustainable change. We know that what we do
today lays the foundation for our tomorrow. Our motto, Living
United, means we are all part of the change. It takes everyone in
our community working together to create a brighter future.

2012 Annual Report • Give Hope a Hand 5
READING ROCKSMembers of our Children and Youth Vision Council worked with the City of Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department to hold summer “Reading Rocks” events in schools around Greater Kingsport. Volunteers connected with community youth to increase reading skills and build positive self-esteem.
Community ImpactCompleted the Citizen Review Process for the 2013–2014 funding cycle.
Sixty volunteers reviewed 44 programs and utilized program outcomes to determine allocations in four focus areas and seven panels of agency programs.
Set priority areas for 2013 through the work of the vision councils. (see article above for more details).
Held literacy events that paired volunteers with community youth to increase reading skills and build positive self-esteem under the leadership of the Helping Children and Youth Succeed Vision Council.
Identifi ed ways to help individuals and families become and remain self-suffi cient. The Promoting Self-Suffi ciency Vision Council emphasized education as a means for stable employment, promoted sound fi nancial decision-making, and helped to link transportation needs with available resources.
Worked to combat hunger through the Harvest of Hope Community Garden supported by the Ensuring Safety and Stability Vision Council. Individuals and families found local food resources on a new website, FEEDKINGSPORT.ORG.
Addressed aging-related issues through the Supporting Aging with Choices Vision Council by developing and designing a comprehensive web portal that links seniors, their caregivers, and other interested community members with resource and provider information. This web portal is targeted for launch in the fi rst quarter of 2013.
Internal OperationsCompleted the Standards of Excellence assessment survey required by
United Way Worldwide every three years. The results from the survey will serve as a springboard for the new fi ve year strategic plan.
Developed the leadership dashboard, a set of metrics that are being used to provide historical context to aid in future decisions.
Our goal: Every adult in Greater Kingsport will have access to affordable care so oral health issues do not negatively impact their lives, which will allow them to remain self-suffi cient.
Our goal: 100% of children in Kingsport and Sullivan County schools score profi cient or advanced in the 3rd grade TCAP scores.
How we will achieve it: Develop and/or sustain school, after-school, and summer excellence and increase and sustain involvement from parents, caregivers, community groups, faith-based organizations, higher education entities, and large and small businesses.
Research shows that: Illiterate youth are more likely to become our nation’s lowest-income, least-skilled, least-productive, and most costly citizens of tomorrow.
Improvement in this area will positively affect high school and college graduation rates, future earnings, health, and overall self-suffi ciency.
Our goal: No individuals or families rely on subsidized programs – everyone has the education and skills to become and remain self-suffi cient.
How we will achieve it: Implement a holistic and comprehensive life skills model that is both skill- and behavorial-based.
The quality of life for our friends, neighbors, and family members who may need to secure a GED, extend their education to include a degree, work to earn a trade, build a better resume, learn how to conduct a job interview, and develop a viable household budget.
When people have access to affordable dental care, individual health is improved and opportunities for job success are signifi cantly increased.

Notes from our Campaign ChairWithout hope, there is little anticipation for a brighter future. But hope alone is not enough. Someone must put action behind that spark of hope to make a real difference. In this community, we are blessed to have many people who choose to get involved and make a difference. It is these individuals who inspired our campaign theme, Give Hope a Hand.
We each give hope a hand when we LIVE UNITED and answer the call to give, to advocate, and to volunteer. This year, many individuals joined together in an amazing campaign. We set our goal at $3,750,000, an increase of $125,000 over last year. Once again, the generosity of our donors supplied the resources we need to give hope a hand right here in our community.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, especially our campaign cabinet and company campaign coordinators, we exceeded our goal by nearly 5% in cash and pledges, raising more than $3.93 million . . . Add in over $200,000 in gift in kind resources and we exceeded the $4 million mark.
As the 2012 campaign chair, I would like to thank everyone for giving hope a hand by giving, advocating, and volunteering.
