2023 Goals
KVCAP’s primary goal has not changed in 57 years – to create sustainable solutions to poverty for individuals, families and communities. KVCAP’s four overarching strategic goals for the next three years are to:
- Strengthen systemic infrastructure to support organizational growth.
- Increase availability of safe and affordable housing.
- Increase family stability through a whole family approach.
- Enhance transportation options in Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Fundraising/Event Opportunities
KVCAP and MSAD54 are building upon decades of partnership and launching a comprehensive campaign to build a new elementary school in Skowhegan with a birth through age 5 wing inside the school. This will be a first in Maine. The school will serve as an exemplar for supporting a community’s youngest citizens, their families and staff. To contribute toward the campaign or for more information, contact Erin Merrill at (207) 859-1678 or erinm@kvcap.org. KVCAP will be hosting its Annual Mark K. Johnston Memorial Golf Tournament on June 21, 2023 at Lakewood Golf Course in Madison. To become an event sponsor or to register a team, contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@kvcap.org or 207-859-1630.
Giving Opportunities
We have several giving opportunities at KVCAP. To learn more, contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@kvcap.org. Donors can make a one-time or recurring gift on our website: kvcap.org. KVCAP holds annual appeals in the spring and fall to raise unrestricted funds to support agency capacity. Donors may also choose to designate their gift to a specific program or initiative. Employer matching gifts, planned gifts and gifts of stock are always welcomed. Become a Community Investor! Sign up and receive a weekly email highlighting a specific need when no other resource exists. Investors are lifesavers, financially contributing to address situations that threaten an individual’s or family’s stability. Common requests are for car repairs, security deposits and medical items.
Volunteer Opportunities
KVCAP is always seeking new Volunteer Drivers for our Transportation Department. Drivers are reimbursed for their mileage, bringing people to and from medical appointments. Contact Steve Soule at steves@kvcap.org. KVCAP’s South End Teen Center in Waterville accepts volunteers who are willing to dedicate their time engaging with members, sharing a talent or passion and providing homework support.
