Income

In the spring of 2009, United Way of Metro Chicago (UWMC) conducted a competitive process to select a group of programs around the region, thereby forming UWMC’s first Financial Stability Partnership.  These programs provide a range of programming for lower-income adults with multiple barriers to stability in the areas of employment, income supports, financial literacy, and asset generation. The annual report(s) below provide more information about the achievements of this partnership.

Final FY11 Financial Stability Year-end Report

UWMC worked in conjunction with grantees to develop a performance measurement system with shared outcomes and indicators for all programs in the Financial Stability Partnership. All grantees chosen for funding are required to report on all outcomes and indicators within their chosen field(s) of expertise.  By using shared measures, UWMC seeks to create a uniform method for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of different approaches, thereby surfacing promising practices to share across the cohort of funded agencies.  The current performance measurement framework is included below.
