At UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation, I get to be a part of changing lives! UHCCF provides timely financial support to families with children in need of extensive medical intervention. My daughter has a rare lung condition known as neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI), and I have been the overwhelmed mother who can barely bring herself to open the hospital bill. I know first-hand the incredible amount of stress brought on by the unknown, by coordinating care, making appointments, ensuring enough supplies are on hand. But, I also know first-hand the relief of finding someone who can help you, who can take just one thing off your plate, who can give you a moment to breathe. I’m blessed to be in a position to help other parents in a similar position, and I get to call it my job!UHCCF medical grants are funded through:- Public donations- UnitedHealth Group employee giving and employer matching- Peer-to-peer event-based fundraising- and Sponsorship of regional events and programmingIf your organization wants to be a part of helping families in need while being represented at events attended by UHG/UHC/Optum leadership and employees, please get in touch with me at Jennifer.N.Havard@UHC.comOr make an online donation by going to UHCCF.org.

I established and nurtured lasting professional relationships with corporate partners and community leaders to support the organization’s mission, by partnering on community engagement activities that promote participation among diverse groups in support of Society initiatives such as fundraising, engagement, and educational programsThe majority of my role entailed prospecting for new participants and partners while retaining past attendees and nurturing existing relationships to grow engagement efforts. I also maintained a comprehensive database of client, donor, and sponsor data to better inform sales, marketing, and promotional efforts around the Society’s events and programs.Some highlights of my time with the MS Society include: - Increasing revenue across the top five participants by driving renewals and recurring participation while creating a pipeline of potential stakeholders, sponsors, and donors. - Securing strategic partnerships with community and business leaders to increase awareness and grow participation.- Generating more than $64M in revenue despite the onset of the pandemic, which drastically changed event operations, funding initiatives, and overall earning potential.

I oversaw client relations and sales-like fundraising activities to secure sponsorship opportunities, recurring revenue streams, and annual contributions to support the annual $3M operating budget for this city-owned community asset. A large part of my time at the museum focused on an extensive capital raise to secure funding for the addition of a new exhibition area. I played a key role in turning around fledgling fundraising efforts to close out a $3.8M funding round that was less than 30% funded at the start of my tenure.I also planned and produced as many as 16 community events annually by securing in-kind donations, sponsorships, and public and private partnerships while managing timelines, budgets, and schedules.I enjoyed being an inspirational leader, coaching a staff comprised of marketing, event planning, public affairs, and donor relationship team members, supporting them through a volatile executive leadership change. My role with the museum provided the opportunity to engage in other impactful community work such as serving as a city representative on state arts council grant review board where we used predefined criteria to judge applications and provide funding recommendations, made site visits and helped potential recipients refine their applications.
