SUMMARY : Honors the 125th anniversary of the founding of the
United Way. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1)In 2012, the United Way celebrated the 125th anniversary of
its founding; and, today the United Way, which was founded in
Denver in 1887, is now the largest privately funded, nonprofit
corporation in the nation and the world with more than 1,800
United Ways in 41 countries and territories.
2)The United Way builds on community strengths and assets, helps
individuals and groups with specific community interests,
finds ways for them to contribute their time and talents,
supports direct-service programs and community-change efforts,
and advocates public policy changes; and, millions of
corporations and businesses partner with the United Way to
address these community needs.
3)California's independent, local United Ways created United
Ways of California to work together to advance their mutual
goals of improving health, education, and financial results of
low-income children and families by enhancing and coordinating
their advocacy and community impact work and together have
raised more than $200 million per year in charitable gifts to
achieve these goals.
4)Individually and together, California's United Ways build a
