United Way of Southern Maine takes our role as steward of donor money very seriously. We engage community volunteers to oversee every aspect of our management and financial systems to ensure that we operate at the highest levels of professionalism and excellence. We also submit to an annual independent audit to affirm continued financial responsibility and accountability to inspire trust and confidence in all our stakeholders.

Our Board of Directors oversees the management of United Way of Southern Maine. Our Board and Finance Committee, comprised of volunteers, review and approve our annual budget and financial statements, which include campaign fundraising results, community investments, and operating expenses. Our financial statements are audited annually by a nationally recognized accounting firm, which certifies that its financial statements are in full compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
