Today the community of Mid Coast Maine is facing times of great transition. We currently have the kind of community many people around our country and world are seeking. We have strong networks of relationships, and caring, volunteering and service to others. We have successful, well-run local programs that help people reach their full potential as individuals and as members of this community—all thanks to the work of many people over many years.

We need to ensure that whatever the changing workplaces, demographics, governmental funding, or needs, we continue to be a strong and healthy community where people care for each other, teach and learn from each other, and reach out to people who are alone or need help. We are stewards of the life of the community we call home, just as we are stewards of the environment.

United Way of Mid Coast Maine has been a positive force for good in this community for 50 years, and we are determined to keep our community strong and have an even greater impact in the next 50 years and beyond. We bring people together to address our most important human needs, and work toward solutions to root causes. We have a clear local focus, and the broadest possbile human reach within that Mid Coast focus. Our mission is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities.

Please join us in this stewardship by contributing to the United Way of Mid Coast Maine Endowment Fund!

Help to ensure a strong future for our community.
Today, together, the people of mid Coast Maine have the ability to ensure a bright future. We can build a strong foundation for our future home community.

United Way's Endowment will:

• ensure vital services continue for local people
• launch creative new initiatives and respond quickly to new needs
• sustain investment in prevention—including the investment strategy that is United Way's special focus and strength and produces the greatest possible results—investing in early childhood, so all children in Mid Coast Maine enter school ready to succeed.

• You will get the same satisfaction you get from your annual gift, changing lives right here and now, as the interest is put to work each year
• 50 years from now, and forever, lives will be changed for the better and our community will continue to be strong, because of your decision today
• Our community needs you now to make this act of faith and commitment to our future
