Be the Tide That Lifts All Boats
In Maine’s coastal communities, we understand the power of the tide. It moves quietly but with undeniable force—a rising tide doesn’t happen by chance—it takes many forces working in sync. Resources, collaboration, awareness, and commitment all have to move together to truly lift every vessel, supporting every journey, and connecting us all. When we align our efforts—when nonprofits, donors, volunteers, and advocates work in harmony—that’s when real, lasting change happens.
At United Midcoast Charities, we believe our community can be that tide.
When you give (time, talent or treasure), you’re not just making a donation. You’re joining a powerful movement that lifts the entire safety net across Knox and Waldo counties. Together, our supporters and ambassadors are the tide—steadily rising to meet the needs of our neighbors by strengthening the nonprofits that serve them.
These nonprofits are the lifeboats for neighbors in crisis: feeding families, sheltering the unhoused, supporting mental health, and more. UMC is the deep current beneath them, offering equatable access to resources, stable support, strategic funding, and collaborative guidance that keeps them all afloat and moving forward.
No where else will your gift be multiplied in impact, supporting dozens of organizations, sustains essential services, and ensures that everyone in our community is lifted up.
Be the tide.
