Year in Review

The UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF) had an exciting 2008. We can't think of a better investment than the children in our own communities and we couldn't help them without you. Just look at the good things we accomplished last year:

Accomplishment	2008 Amount	Percent Growth over 2007
UnitedHealth Group Giving Campaign contributions to UHCCF	$963,000	16%
Online applications for medical grants	1,943 applications	23%
Awarded medical grants	595 grants	32%
External fundraising events	12 Events	33%

In addition,

UHCCF was accepted as a 2009 member of Children First - America's Charities. Therefore, we can now fundraise under the Children First - America's Charities' umbrella in national employee giving campaigns in which it participates.
UHCCF achieved a 63 percent favorability rating to the question, "I understand the mission of the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation" in the Vital Signs employee survey. This is an increase over last survey.

Looking Ahead

As you can see from the chart, in 2008, we realized a 32 percent increase in grants and a 23 percent increase in applications received over 2007. Because of our growth, we are placing a high priority on external fundraising events such golf tournaments and walks/runs. Our ambitious growth goals (granting almost $2 million in 2008 to more than $5 million by 2012) will make fundraising even more important in the future. Our association with America's Charities and the great work done by our business partners will jumpstart our efforts.

As you know, our funding comes in large part from the generosity of the employees of UnitedHealth Group and the corporation's employee giving campaign matching funds program. This makes it especially important that our employees are aware of the work of the UHCCF. If you have any questions about the work of the Foundation or would like to request additional information,

We anticipate that 2009 will be a very good year! We invite you to come along with us.
