United Way Code of Ethics

United Way of Androscoggin County (UWAC) is committed to the highest ethical standards.  Based on the unique trust placed in United Way of Androscoggin County to serve the public good, we have a special obligation to act ethically.

The success of the United Way system and our reputation depend upon the ethical conduct of everyone affiliated with the UWAC.  Volunteers, staff and representatives set an example for each other, and for member United Way partner agencies, by their pursuit of excellence in high standards of performance, professionalism and ethical conduct.

The United Way of Androscoggin County Code of Ethics is based on our mission and guided by our fundamental values.  We are mindful that these core values must be clearly articulated, communicated and continuously reinforced. While no document can anticipate all of the challenges that may arise, the Code of Ethics will assist United Way volunteers, staff and representatives in making good decisions that are ethical and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.  All are encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns that they have with the Executive Director.
