3 The United Way Advantage United Way of Metropolitan Chicago (UWMC) is uniquely positioned to deliver community solutions in the Chicago region based on our long-standing expertise in social services, extensive network of partners, volunteers and donors, and ability to implement region-wide strategies and neighborhood-specific solutions. UWMC is a strong, supportive thread within the fabric of the Chicagoland community. 3

4 United Way’s NEW Approach to Community Solutions Large-scale social change requires broad cross-sector coordination, not the isolated intervention of individual organizations. 1 4 1) Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2011 TOGETHER, WE CAN CHANGE THE STORY. United Way of Metropolitan Chicago serves as the backbone organization generating and coordinating resources across funders, service providers, government and civic leaders to deliver large-scale, measurable and sustainable impact across our region. A collective impact model across sectors and partners requires:  Establishing common agendas and shared measurement systems  Continuous communication among all stakeholders including community residents and service recipients  Integration of partner programs and other assets  Backbone organization to generate resources and provide accountable coordination of cross-sector efforts
