Spokane County United Way is focused on one thing - having the greatest impact on the most pressing social needs throughout Spokane County.
In order to successfully achieve impact, a strategic approach needs to be taken in the implementation and execution of community building. To
assure we achieve our desired results our efforts are focused in four areas:
|
 |
|
Spokane County United Way strives to build and strengthen our community through two primary initiatives, Success By 6 and our Volunteer
Center. We are also committed to working with community partners throughout Spokane County in addressing social needs as they arise.
|
 |
|
Every two years Spokane County United Way provides a report on human care issues in our region. The report is used to guide fund allocation
panel volunteers in making funding recommendations.
|
|
|
 |
|
Once the social need throughout Spokane County has been assessed and reported, community volunteers allocate funds to the services that
will have the greatest impact Spokane County.
|
 |
|
Review and update community indicators to support the community assessment. This includes Spokane County United Way planning indicators
and the United Way of America State of Caring Index. When will 2-1-1 get off the ground here?
|
|
The State WIN 211 Board approved SMH’s application to run Spokane County’s Call Center in May 2005. The next step toward implementation
requires completion of a comprehensive local business plan. Led by SCUW staff, this process involves a series of meetings and
discussions with the numerous health and human serivce agencies, existing I&R providers as well as federal, state and local government
officials. These meetings are intended to educate these stakeholders about the 2-1-1 program and, more importantly, gather expertise
and input on program operations. This community meeting process and business plan must be completed before 2-1-1 launches in Spokane.
