Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to once again kick off the University of Maine System (UMS) Combined Charitable Appeal for University Employees (CCAUE). The need for support this year remains crucial to many Mainers. Across the state, we continue to deal not only with the ongoing effects of the pandemic but also with high inflation rates creating stress at the gas pump and grocery store. With winter approaching and heating costs high, our neighbors will be relying on programs such as ours to help fill in the gaps. CCAUE’s long-standing partnerships with various statewide, regional, national, and international agencies and service organizations—more than 450—assist those who can benefit most from our compassion and generosity. With such a wide variety of charities to choose from, both local and global, it’s easy to find a cause to support. If your preferred charity is not on the list, you can add it and your funds will be directed there.

We rely upon dedicated volunteers who can answer your questions and help you make your own personal decision about whether and how to participate. You can reach out to them—and learn more about how your contribution makes an important difference—by visiting the contribution web page and clicking on Donate Now.

I am proud of UMS’ commitment to these causes: over more than twenty years of participation, our combined contributions to CCAUE have totaled in excess of $2 million.

The UMS CCAUE launches on November 1 and runs through the end of the month.   

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,

Dannel P. Malloy, Chancellor
