Every fall, Versant Power employees come together to support their neighbors through our annual United Way campaign. This partnership continues to make a difference across northern and eastern Maine.

The campaign allows employees to support programs addressing some of the most important needs in our communities, including basic needs and assistance for families and individuals facing difficult circumstances. Employees can choose to support Heart of Maine United Way, United Way of Aroostook, or other United Way programs throughout Maine.

“Versant Power is a tremendous community partner whose commitment makes a meaningful difference. Their annual workplace campaign, corporate support, and sponsorship of The COMMUNITY: Maine’s Nonprofit Hub strengthen our work, while their employees give back by volunteering to support local nonprofits. Versant understands that strong communities are built through partnerships, and we’re grateful for the lasting impact they help create across our region.” said Matt Donahue, President & CEO, Heart of Maine United Way.

The United Way campaign has become an important annual tradition at Versant, more than 250 employees participating in 2025. Employees bring plenty of creativity and enthusiasm to the effort, organizing activities such as cooking contests, photo contests, guessing games, and time-off raffles to help raise funds.

That commitment has also earned recognition from Heart of Maine United Way. Versant Power was recently recognized with a Silver Campaign Award for its strong workplace campaign in 2025. The award recognizes companies that demonstrate a commitment to employee giving, fundraising, and campaign best practices.

Versant has also been recognized as a Cornerstone company and one of Heart of Maine United Way’s top workplace campaigns, reflecting the long-standing partnership and the important role Versant employees play in supporting the organization’s work in the community.

Since 2018, Versant Power and its employees have raised more than $940,000, surpassing their yearly campaign goals and helping support nonprofits throughout Maine. The yearly campaign continues to provide an opportunity for employees to make a difference not only through their financial contributions, but also through their enthusiasm and participation.

This year’s campaign runs from October 19 through October 30, and it is an opportunity for employees to continue to come together, give back, and help strengthen the communities we are proud to serve. #ForAbrighterCommunity
