My Nonprofit Reviews

United Midcoast Charities is a locally run and locally focused non-profit with a remarkable history of positive impact in our rural Maine community. With no centralized philanthropic organization in our area, like a United Way, UMC coordinates the best intentions and the generous resources of donors and focuses them on the greatest community needs. This coordination of donors and receivers eliminates redundancy and results in the best possible impact. In the past year the organization has evolved in its vision and is becoming not only a source of funds to local non-profits but also a source of professional development, coordinating training plus funding a database installation on a local computer which saves each non-profit hours of staff time and driving to access this material. Thank you UMC for making midcoast Maine a better place to live!

I am the Director of an organization which is the recipient of the generosity of UMCC. Despite scandal from the former President, the organization has sought justice and recouped most of the lost funds. Throughout the ordeal, the board members were forthcoming and humble about errors that were made. Any question that was asked, they offered sound answers. This is an enormously important resource in the mid-coast Maine community, funding some of the needier members of our towns who exist below the veneer of local affluence and well being. Their application process is thorough and fair. We are grateful for their generous contributions which improve the quality of life for local residents.
