Richard Brothers - Cape & Island United Way.mp4
The Cape and Island United Way is partnering with The Non-Profit Toolbox to bring Networking and Educational events for Non-Profit Organizations on Cape Cod. The Toolbox's Lisa Morrissey sat down and talked about this with Richard Brothers from the Cape and Islands United Way. Here is a transcript of the video:
Lisa Morrissey: Good morning, I am very excited today to be speaking with Rich Brothers President of the Cape and Islands United Way. Could you tell me a little about the Cape and Islands United Way and the services you offer?
Richard Brothers: Sure, the Cape and Islands United Way is very much different from everybody's impression of the United Way because it's made to be custom for Cape Cod and the Islands. Most United Way Organizations are workplace oriented kinds of fund raising organizations and the average size of the workforce on Cape Cod being eight persons it doesn't lend itself to that. We have chosen to be in this community. We focus on two things: we want to convene the community around things that are important for this human service community and then once we convene the leaders of this community around those issues then we want to help raise the money to help address those issues. Pretty simple.
Lisa Morrissey: How many non profit organizations to you work with?
Richard Brothers: Well, the Cape and Islands United Way in this year 2010 is funding thirty different programs at about twenty-eight different health and human service providers across Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. We don't have the old thinking family of agencies the United Way's used to have. We sort of act like a community foundation and each year we encourage human service providers to ask us for programs that they believe will make an impact in the community and then our group of about sixty five volunteers evaluates the best way to spend the donors dollars towards making the greatest impact through funding programs at human service agencies.
Lisa Morrissey: And what are you most proud of for the Cape and Islands United Way?
Richard Brothers: Well, the sales pitch is that we are proud to be the single largest provider of human service funding other than state and federal government organizations and ninety nine cents out of every single dollar that is raised on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket by the Cape and Islands United Way stays here. There is this great misconception that we're a branch office of something and money leaves the Cape and money comes to the Cape and neither of those are the case unless the donor wants us to do that.
Lisa Morrissey: Well Rich, we are very excited to have the Cape and Islands United Way working with us, partnering with The Non-Profit Toolbox for our June 8th Meet-up which is taking place at the Museum of Natural History in Brewster. So thank you. What types of things are you hoping to accomplish through that or that non-profits organizations accomplish by attending?
Richard Brothers: One of the other things we try to accomplish with the Cape and Islands United Way, we have this sort of internal buzz phrase that we use about being more than money. We want to try and be more than money into the community, to the human service provider community and this is one of the ways I think we can partner with organizations to be more than money. It's, you know, the old cliché we're sick of hearing about teaching to fish and fishing and all that stuff. What we have here is an opportunity for the teaching to fish and partnering with your organization The Non-profit Toolbox and other organizations is what we seek to do to make things better. In my opinion and the opinion of this organization this is one of those opportunities that there are to say Ok, you can ask us for money, that's one thing we can give you, we can also give you the opportunity maybe get some help in things you wouldn't ordinarily get or couldn't ordinarily make fit into your budget.
Lisa Morrissey: Wonderful, we'll see you on the 8th.
Richard Brothers: I'll be there. I'll have some groceries and we'll have a good time.

SUMMARY
=======
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States. New York was one of the original Thirteen Colonies that formed the United States. With an estimated 19.85 million residents in 2017, it is the fourth most populous state. To distinguish the state from the city in the state with the same name, it is sometimes called New York State.
The state's most populous city, New York City, makes up over 40% of the state's population. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York metropolitan area, and nearly 40% lives on Long Island. The state and city were both named for the 17th century Duke of York, the future King James II of England. With an estimated population of 8.55 million in 2015, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York metropolitan area is one of the most populous in the world. New York City is a global city, home to the United Nations Headquarters and has been described as the cultural, financial and media capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.
New York, the 27th largest U.S. state in land area, has a diverse geography. The state is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the northwest. The southern part of the state is in the Atlantic Coastal Plain and includes Long Island and several smaller associated islands, as well as New York City and the lower Hudson River Valley. The large Upstate New York region comprises several ranges of the wider Appalachian Mountains, and the Adirondack Mountains in the Northeastern lobe of the state. Two major river valleys – the north-south Hudson River Valley and the east-west Mohawk River Valley – bisect these more mountainous regions. Western New York is considered part of the Great Lakes Region and borders Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Niagara Falls. The central part of the state is dominated by the Finger Lakes, a popular vacation and tourist destination.
New York had been inhabited by tribes of Algonquian and Iroquoian-speaking Native Americans for several hundred years by the time the earliest Europeans came to New York. French colonists and Jesuit missionaries arrived southward from Montreal for trade and proselytizing. In 1609, the region was visited by Henry Hudson sailing for the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch built Fort Nassau in 1614 at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers, where the present-day capital of Albany later developed. The Dutch soon also settled New Amsterdam and parts of the Hudson Valley, establishing the multicultural colony of New Netherland, a center of trade and immigration. England seized the colony from the Dutch in 1664. During the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), a group of colonists of the Province of New York attempted to take control of the British colony and eventually succeeded in establishing independence. In the 19th century, New York's development of access to the interior beginning with the Erie Canal, gave it incomparable advantages over other regions of the U.S. east-coast and built its political and cultural ascendancy.Many landmarks in New York are well known, including four of the world's ten most-visited tourist attractions in 2013: Times Square, Central Park, Niagara Falls (shared with Ontario), and Grand Central Terminal. New York is home to the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the United States and its ideals of freedom, democracy, and opportunity. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entr ...

SUMMARY
=======
Rhode Island ( (listen)), officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a state in the New England region of the United States. It is the smallest state in area, the seventh least populous, and is the second most densely populated. It has the longest official name of any state. Rhode Island is bordered by Connecticut to the west, Massachusetts to the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south via Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound. It also shares a small maritime border with New York. Providence is the state capital and most populous city in Rhode Island.
On May 4, 1776, the Colony of Rhode Island was the first of the Thirteen Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown, and it was the fourth among the newly independent states to ratify the Articles of Confederation on February 9, 1778. The state boycotted the 1787 convention which drew up the United States Constitution and initially refused to ratify it; it was the last of the states to do so on May 29, 1790.Rhode Island's official nickname is The Ocean State, a reference to the large bays and inlets that amount to about 14 percent of its total area.
