3. True or false? (1 point) United Way of the Greater Triangle creates lasting change in our community by addressing basic needs and creating long term solutions for families and children in our local community. True: More than a fundraiser, United Way is a partner for social change. United Way’s collaborative approach works to meet the needs of adults and their children together to move low-income households toward economic security, success in school, and family well-being. This is done by making significant investments in 24 collaborative partnerships across four counties.

4. True or false? (1 point) Only United Way of the Greater Triangle staff members decide on community needs/program impacts and which non-profit agencies receive funding. False: As good stewards of the money we raise, community volunteers, experts, and agency representatives, work together to make funding decisions by gathering data, identifying community needs

5. True or false? (1 point) Even with United Way’s new collaborative approach, we have not forgotten the focus on basic needs. True: Our work in Basic Needs supports vulnerable populations including seniors and those who are homeless, unemployed, and uninsured.

Fostering Youth Opportunities, our first collaborative partnership, puts the young person at the center of services through a supportive network addressing education, housing, and life skills.

7. True or false? (1 point) United Way of the Greater Triangle is a “community chest” with a funds in/funds out approach. This model is our organization’s view of the future.

This means that 2,000 of our neighbors are homeless here in the Triangle. UWGT has funded two collaborative partnerships in our region whose focus is helping families find stable housing. These collaboratives partner to provide a network of services for the whole family—not just adults or children separately. This new way of working has enabled them to free up resources and bring proven best practices to our community.
