United Mid-Coast Charities (UMCC) is in its 65th year, having been founded in 1942. In our 64th year we distributed over $500,000 to 60 agencies in Knox and Waldo counties.

Just as UMCC has endured for 66 years of giving to charitable organizations serving people in need, so has its original style of operating. We do not waver from three important tenets:

  1. All contributions are distributed. No administrative deductions are ever made.

  2. UMCC is an all-volunteer organization. There are no paid staff, only volunteer workers, including our hard-working Directors;

  3. An endowment pays all expenses like postage, paper, printing, CPA & office services.
We are determined to keep these tenets for the next 66 years!

Your contributions are divided amongst the agencies with the greatest need. In general, the Directors take into consideration many categories of need as requested by organizations. The funds get divided approximately this way: 40% to Children's Services; 27% to Community Service, 15% to Medical Service, 13% to Educational Service and 5% to Adult Literacy Programs. Should you wish to direct your contribution to a specific organization, just let us know.
