The United Way said on Thursday that dozens of agency programs will receive more money for fiscal year 2001, July 1 through June 30, 2001.
“An average increase of about 4 percent,” said David Walker, United Way's volunteer vice chairman for community building.
Every Child Succeeds, the regional home visitation program that pairs social workers and nurses with at-risk mothers, will receive almost $1.8 million from the United Way & Community Chest for fiscal year 2001.
The new Every Child Succeeds funding amount — $1,750,000 — is up from $750,000 for the first half of 2000 and represents the United Way's continuing commitment to the program, Mr. Walker said.
Every Child Succeeds, created in May 1997 by the United Way in partnership with Children's Hospital Medical Center and the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency, has worked with more than 600 families and aims to reach 11,000 mothers a year in a nine-county area stretching across Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana.
At the same time, four collaborative groups called “vision councils” — Thriving Children, Healthy People, Vibrant Neighborhoods and Communities, and Self-Sufficient People — are reviewing community issues to try to come up with more program efficiency and positive outcomes, Mr. Walker said.
The goal of the next campaign, chaired by Barbara J. Stonebraker, senior vice president at Cincinnati Bell, will be announced in September.
