Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN 2021, THE UNIFY PROJECT CONTINUED TO AGGREGATE, INTEGRATE AND ANALYZE DATA AND PROVIDE INFORMATION AND INSIGHTS GENERATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS, AND TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY, TO ASSIST WITH THEIR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. THE UNIFY PROJECT'S INSIGHT GENERATION EFFORTS WERE FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING AND DEFINING THE STRUCTURAL DETERMINANTS OF WELL-BEING AND DETERMINING WHICH, AND HOW, SYSTEMIC ISSUES COULD BE ATTACKED AT THE CAUSAL LEVEL. FOLLOWING A DETERMINATION OF WHICH SYSTEM FLAWS NEGATIVELY AFFECTING INCLUSIVE PROSPERITY COULD BE POSITIVELY IMPACTED BROADLY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY, THE UNIFY PROJECT LEVERAGED THE INSIGHTS GENERATED TO DEVELOP AND PATENT PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES DESIGNED TO SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR A SYSTEM TO ASSIST THE UNDER-SERVED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT. THE UNIFY PROJECT DID THIS WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THE RESULTING SYSTEM RECOGNIZED THAT CURRENT WORKFORCE SYSTEMS PROVIDE LITTLE SUPPORT TO THIS COHORT AND PROVIDED A SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY-BASED SYSTEM TO CORRECT FUNDAMENTAL SYSTEM FLAWS. THE UNIFY PROJECT ALSO UTILIZED THE INSIGHTS TO BEGIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS OTHER SYSTEMIC ISSUES, PRINCIPALLY ISSUES WHICH CAN BE IMPACTED BY LEVERAGING DATA, ANALYTICS AND TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS ISSUES PERPETUATING DISPARITY AND INHIBITING INCLUSIVE PROSPERITY.
