Welcome to United Midcoast Charities.
Our main areas of focus are:
WHO BENEFITS?

CONSIDER INVESTING IN YOUR COMMUNITY
If you’re an individual, a foundation, town, or business, UMC can help you invest in your community. Because of our wide network, coverage of Knox and Waldo counties and our breadth of knowledge about the issues facing our communities, we can help you leverage your donation, grant, sponsorship or time to increase your impact.
FEEDBACK FROM VOLUNTEERS, DONORS AND RECIPIENTS
UMC is an integral part of the Midcoast Maine non-profit network of services. We are stronger and more able to help the people who need it the most because of UMC.

UMC carefully evaluates local non-profits through a rigorous grant cycle, and year after year have helped our volunteer clinic expand to serve the growing number of Mainers in need of care.

UMC has made it possible for us to keep the doors of home health and hospice open to those in greatest needs.
