ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW   “United Way California Capital Region has been serving our five-county region for nearly 100 years to build stronger, healthier, and more compassionate communities. We are dedicated to improving the lives of families and children, and strengthening communities in Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties.”   Our client, United Way California Capital Region (UWCCR) [yourlocalunitedway.org], is seeking a dynamic new President and Chief Executive Officer. This individual will replace Stephanie McLemore Bray, who left UWCCR after seven very productive years, to join Seattle Foundation as its Chief Engagement Officer. At the end of 2020, UWCCR received a “game changer” donation of $10 million from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. The new President and CEO is coming into a well-resourced organization, one that is seeking new leadership to leverage this incredible gift. United Way California Capital Region is an independent local affiliate of United Way Worldwide with a local board of directors. United Way Worldwide is an international movement of nearly 1,800 community-based United Ways in 40 countries. It advances the common good by focusing on education, income, and health – the building blocks for a good quality life. The United Way movement mobilizes millions to action – to give, advocate and volunteer – to improve conditions in their local community.  Founded nearly 100 years ago to improve people’s lives and build stronger communities in the capital area, UWCCR continues to be a backbone in the community, serving as a leader amongst nonprofits. It serves a five-county region -- Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo -- with a total population of nearly 2.4 million people. The mission of UWCCR is to improve people’s lives in the region by mobilizing and integrating resources. The current work has UWCCR spearheading regional relief efforts during the pandemic. In the early months, the organization raised $572,000 to provide 1,145 families with $500 to offset costs of rent, bills and basic needs. The organization is also working with the city of Sacramento on a digital equity program to provide free broadband access to up to 10,000 low-income Sacramento households, plus free computers and digital literacy training for another thousand households. UWCCR also continues their The Square One Project, launched in 2016. Square One is a 20-year promise to significantly increase the number of local students who graduate from high school, ready for success in college or career. Ending poor health, high unemployment, racial inequality and poverty starts in school. School is “square one” for reaching all families and ensuring children are healthy and successful. Importantly, our United Way shares the community’s feelings of sadness and outrage toward racial violence and injustice. We are committed to building stronger, healthier and more compassionate communities and channeling our justifiable outrage to collaborative action, and we are seeking new leadership to do just that.
