Guiding the
Kennebec Valley Forward

WHAT IS IMPACT2032?

Impact2032 is a community-wide effort to work toward goals in health, education and financial stability under a shared vision for Kennebec County.

Impact2032 is not a program — it is a driving movement that unites community members to accelerate change. It is a deeply coordinated and collaborative effort led by United Way of Kennebec Valley and driven by community leaders coming together from across business, nonprofit and government sectors.

WHY IMPACT2032?

There is plenty of good happening across Kennebec County, but we recognized that organizations aren’t always moving in the same direction toward the same goals.

While Kennebec County is a great place to live, work and play, not everyone is doing well. Too many of our neighbors cannot afford their basic needs, too many of our youth are falling behind in school, and too many community members are dying early from preventable causes.
