Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Power Building, Influence and Health Care Advocacy

Stepping into Universal's 3rd decade, we expanded relationship circles and focused on partnerships to build shared power. We committed to center our work in communities led by Black, Brown, Indigenous and other people most left behind in the unjust health system.

Partners include:
Grassroots organizing groups working for social justice
Women making health care decisions for their families or small employers - or working in health care
Organizers and advocates working for immigrant access to health coverage
Long-time advocacy allies

Our work to nurture shared, sustained power is rooted in the belief that the status quo must be disrupted and change forced to realize justice. We determined to transform Universal into an anti-racist organization, one that inside and outside will act with resolve against institutional and structural racism.

Grant making

We put our grants to work to support community organizers and advocates with $300,000 to work with us to define “health justice” on the ground, and map a 5-year strategy to build the sustained grassroots power needed to achieve real change.

Advocacy for health justice

In 2022, one of our most robust advocacy partnerships is with Connecticut Students for a Dream and the HUSKY 4 Immigrants coalition they lead. Universal testified, encouraged others in our network to testify, and ultimately won in the state legislature. HUSKY health care extended to cover all who are income eligible, regardless of immigration status for prenatal care for pregnant people, which started April 1, 2022; children ages 0 to 8, beginning January 1, 2023; postpartum care for a year post-pregnancy, beginning April 1, 2023.

In the 2022 legislative session, we stepped up and called for our friends and followers to join in support of legislative advocacy led by HUSKY 4 Immigrants to extend health coverage to immigrant children through age 18 and won coverage through age 12, grand-fathered until age 19.

Policy and Messaging Research

In 2021 and 2022, Universal brokered an introduction with a national funder which resulted in a grant to Rand Corporation to conduct immigrant health policy research in the state.

Universal applied for and received a grant to support the HUSKY 4 Immigrants coalition with opinion and messaging research.

Working hand-in-hand with HUSKY 4 Immigrants, we gave mini-grants to five organizations to collaboratively develop comprehensive, nonpartisan message research then disseminate the findings.

Education, Outreach and Engagement

Universal analyzes the health justice landscape in Connecticut and produces content to inform residents and policy makers, build power, and inspire action.

Universal generates video, social media, e-news, blogs, website, and white paper content.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To inform grant making and program strategies, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback, We ask the people who gave us feedback how well they think we responded
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection, Because we are a funder, sometimes people tell us what they think we want to hear.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
