1. 2019 - 2020 annual report
2. Letter from President/CEo Dear Mesa United Way Stakeholders, We could not have known this time last year the challenges our friends and neighbors would be faced with because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Education, housing, employment, and health concerns dominate our conversations and social media interactions. We have also seen a social movement related to social-economic and racial inequities unparalleled in recent history. I am writing to you this year in a time of great need in our community. It has been a time of uncertainty and fear, but also a time for reflection and hope. Mesa United Way has seen the recent upheaval as a call to action. Each team member has buckled down to innovate and foster hope for those who need it most. In the following report, you will see the collective work we’ve completed this year. Our programmatic success is a testament to the quality of our board, our staff, our community partners, and our supporters like you. Thank you. Looking ahead, Mesa United Way has developed new programming to meet emerging needs in our community. From housing homeless aging-out foster youth to virtual reading tutoring for elementary-aged children, we are still at work to build answers for the pressing concerns of our city. This time next year, I believe we will have touched more lives and shared more successful programs than ever before. Thank you for your continued support of our mission. United, we are better. Sincerely, Mark Young President/CEO
