Request/Subject

Presentation about United Fund of Globe-Miami, Inc. 2019 non-profit fundraising campaign & prospective collaboration with northern Gila County non-profits building on a 54 year history of local service to non-profits.

Background Information

United Fund of Globe-Miami, Inc. began serving the Globe-Miami community in southern Gila County in 1964. As a §501(c)3 corporation, United Fund receives applications from other non-profits for funding programs and services while facilitating fundraising campaigns at local employers and canvassing local business and individual donors. Currently, United Fund serves 31 non-profit programs in Globe-Miami and will serve almost three dozen area non-profits in 2019.

On September 20, 2018, United Fund began a conversation with northern Gila County non-profits to assess the feasibility of replicating the model to serve the Payson area and its non-profit community. By replicating the success of the Globe-Miami model, we hope to connect more non-profits with local employers for potential payroll deduction options for employees to support charities throughout the year.

On Tuesday, December 4th, United Fund of Globe-Miami met with representatives of the northern Gila County non-profit community to see if they'd be receptive to replicating the United Fund model of non-profit fundraising and employer payroll deduction contributions. The reception was positive and we are moving forward with facilitating a replication of the model that has served Globe-Miami for the past 54 years.

Also, if the Gila County Board of Supervisors is interested in the possibility of offering payroll deduct charitable contributions through United Fund, we will be happy to come before the Board again with information about the feasibility of doing so and an inventory of the non-profit entities in northern Gila County interested in participating.

Evaluation

A presentation will be made to the Board of Supervisors.

Conclusion

It would be advantageous for the Board of Supervisors and the public to receive this information from United Fund of Globe-Miami, Inc.

Recommendation

It is recommended that United Fund of Globe-Miami, Inc. representatives be allowed to present information to the Board of Supervisors and the public on local non-profit fundraising & prospective collaboration with others throughout Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Presentation of information regarding the United Fund of Globe-Miami, Inc. and a potential similar organization in northern Gila County on connecting local charities and donors throughout Gila County. (James Menlove)
