Dear Colleagues,


I am excited to announce the launch of the University of Maine System (UMS) Combined Charitable Appeal for University Employees (CCAUE).


As our communities face increasing financial pressures—especially with rising costs as we head into the colder months—your support provides a crucial lifeline. Through the CCAUE, we don't just donate; we directly bridge critical gaps in essential services for Mainers in need.

The CCAUE's enduring partnership with the United Way provides our employees with a powerful platform for giving. With access to over 450 statewide, regional, national, and international agencies and service organizations, we can support those who benefit most from our collective compassion and generosity. This wide selection of local and global charities makes it easy to find a cause that resonates with you. If your preferred charity is not on the list, you can add it, and your donation will be directed accordingly.


New this year, if your last gift was through payroll deduction, it will automatically roll over. No action is needed if you’d like to keep it the same. To make a new pledge, or adjust or cancel an existing pledge, visit the contribution web page, click on “Donate Now,” and enter a new pledge amount. You can also email john@homeunitedway.org or call 207-941-2800.


I am truly proud of UMS’s dedication to these causes. Over the course of more than two decades, our combined contributions to the CCAUE have exceeded $2 million. Because of your commitment, UMS has been honored as a Cornerstone Campaign with the Heart of Maine United Way, ranking among their top ten campaigns. The UMS CCAUE launches today and runs through December 5. 

 

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and for being a vital part of the UMS commitment to our communities.
