Connecting Resources, Building Capacity, Strengthening Rural Communities in Knox and Waldo Counties
Proof of Impact
United Midcoast Charities, for more than 80 years, has been empowering Midcoast Maine nonprofits through finance and operational support, aiding a network of resources stronger than any single organization. UMC supports organizations that focus on providing food, housing, health & safety and economic security to the residents of Knox and Waldo counties. Through a thorough application and community review process, over the past 40 years, UMC has awarded more than $13.1 million to hundreds of local agencies.
These 4 priorities make up the safety net in our rural region.

Providing Small but Steadily Transformative Funding & Support
United Midcoast Charities truly makes such a big difference in this community—providing small but steadily transformative funding and support to the many small organizations working to improve the lives of thousands of people across Waldo and Knox Counties.

No Other Organization is as Uniquely Positioned to Help
We all have a responsibility, philanthropically, to those in our community in greater need. There is no other organization as uniquely positioned as United Midcoast Charities to help support the operations of so many local organizations throughout the year.

Making Vital Services Available
I can honestly say without UMC, many vital services in the Midcoast wouldn’t be available through so many worthy organizations.
