We are grateful for your support in 2010.The last few years have been challengingfor all of us, but particularly for those weserve. We’ve been able to help meetneeds in our community, in large part, be-cause of your sacrificial giving whichhelps provide basic services where theyare needed most. Whether you supportus with time, treasure or talent, your in-vestment in United Way is something wevalue.

We asked you to “Shine A Light” in 2010as a symbol of hope, and you sent us abeacon. Our Central Alabama Communitynever gives up no matter how difficult thecircumstances.

Congratulations to Dudley C. Reynolds,our 2010 Campaign Chairman, and hisCampaign Cabinet, for leading us in rais-ing, $37,271,302. This remarkable result,

reached at a time of slow recovery from arecession, would not be possible withoutvolunteers. In particular, the company co-ordinators who worked tirelessly withintheir organizations to plan, manage, andpromote volunteerism and giving toUnited Way in the workplace.

Your support allows our 80-plus partnersand programs in our five-county area tocontinue their good work. In addition,your support allows us to work specifi-cally to move the needle in a positive wayto improve health, education, income, andaccess to services, in times of crisis.

As we move forward we strive to offerour supporters a look at all sides. We callit our 360 degree United Way experience.Many of you know United Way from justone experience – giving. But we hope youwill consider serving in a volunteer ca-

pacity, either with United Way itself orwith one of our partner agencies. We alsooffer opportunities to get involvedthrough our initiatives, such as our Fi-nancial Stability Partnership, as a volun-teer tax preparer perhaps. Anothercomponent to the 360 degree experienceis to advocate for an issue you feelstrongly about. United Way, our partnersand initiatives offer many opportunities tohave a voice in improving our community.

Access to Services

United Way’s 2-1-1 Call Center connects thecaller to a specialist, who assesses the client’sneeds, and links them to appropriate resources

using a comprehensive database of services.In 2010 the 2-1-1 Call Center received aboveaverage calls for assistance. In one day alone,the center received 300 calls for referrals toagencies to help with basic needs such as food,clothing, utility assistance and shelter.

Nearly one-thousand individuals were served inProject Homeless Connect – a one-stop eventto provide services to homeless individuals, in-cluding health and dental services, housing as-sistance, legal services and identification cards.Hands On Birmingham recruited, trained andmanaged more than 1,510 volunteers to assistwith the one-day effort.

Board of Directors

United Way of Central Alabama, Inc.

Birmingham, Alabama

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of United Way of Central Alabama,

Inc. (a nonprofit organization) and affiliate as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of ac-

tivities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are

the responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consoli-

dated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements as of December 31, 2008, were audited by

Frost Cummings, LLP, who merged with another firm to form Frost Cummings Tidwell Group, LLC as of January 1,

2010, and whose report dated September 1, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. The

prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Organization's 2008 financial state-

ments and, in the report dated September 1, 2009, an unqualified opinion was expressed on those financial state-

ments.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America

and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comp-

troller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reason-

able assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The

financial statements of the affiliate were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. An audit

includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial

statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides

a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the fi-

nancial position of United Way of Central Alabama, Inc. and affiliate as of December 31, 2009, and the changes in

their net assets and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally ac-

cepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 13, 2010, on

our consideration of United Way of Central Alabama, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests

of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.

The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and

compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial re-

porting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Au-

diting Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of United Way of

Central Alabama, Inc. taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of allocations to agencies by impact areas on

page 26 is presented for purposes of additional analysis, and is not a required part of the basic financial state-

ments. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional

analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments,

and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has

been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opin-

ion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
