DISCUSSION: During the Fiscal Year 2023 budget process, the City Council approved financial support for the United Way of Tarrant County (United Way) in the amount of $199,500.00, which is currently budgeted in Neighborhood Services department's General Fund Budget in order to fund various agencies and social service programs throughout the City. The City contracts with United Way to administer and distribute these funds to agencies that provide social service programs that meet the City's established criteria. The City will make a single payment in the amount of $199,500.00, and the United Way will have discretion to select the particular agencies and funding amounts subject to the criteria listed below designed to ensure that the funds are used for a public benefit in the Fort Worth community. In exchange for the funds, United Way will choose agencies based on these criteria and deliver quarterly reports detailing how the funds were expended by United Way and the chosen agencies. United Way shall apply the following criteria to ensure that the agencies chosen serve a public purpose through investing money, expertise, and other resources to improve lives and communities in benefit of the entire Fort Worth Community: • Agencies must have a valid current designation of tax-exempt status under 26 USC 501 from the United States Internal Revenue Service. • Agencies must have a mission statement and service plan that aligns with public safety. • Agencies must not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytizing, as a part of the program or services funded by City dollars. Inherently religious activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs, activities, or services supported by City funds. • Agencies must submit documentation attesting to and demonstrating the entity's capacity to deliver specified services. • Agencies must demonstrate to United Way via site visits that the nature and performance of the proposed service meets the above -listed criteria. This is the City's thirteenth year to collaborate with United Way to disseminate funds and provide coordination with area agencies. The contract requires these funds to be used for programming within the City. This allows the City, through United Way, to continue to provide financial assistance to non- profit agencies who offer critical social services for the benefit of the entire Fort Worth community. United Way has over 87 years of experience investing money, expertise and other resources to improve lives and communities. These programs will provide the public with a clear benefit by providing mentorship and training to children to help ensure they remain in school and by ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of Fort Worth citizens, specifically those who are experiencing or survivors http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc—review.asp?ID=30701 &councildate=2/14/2023 3/10/2023 M&C Review Page 2 of 3 of traumatic events, such as domestic violence and sexual assault.
