KVCAP’s primary goal has not changed in 60 years – to create sustainable solutions to poverty for individuals, families and communities.
KVCAP’s four overarching strategic goals (2022-2025) are to:
1. Strengthen systemic infrastructure to support organizational growth.
2. Increase availability of safe and affordable housing.
3. Increase family stability through a Whole Family approach.
4. Enhance transportation options in Kennebec and Somerset counties.
KVCAP hosts an annual golf tournament each June to raise funds for transportation. The proceeds are used as required match for Federal Transit Funding. The 11th Annual Tee-off for Transportation, held on June 20, 2025, raised $21,500, infusing $43,000 into KVCAP public transit in Kennebec and Somerset counties. Our 2026 Tournament will be held at Lakewood Golf Course in Madison on June 26.
We have many giving opportunities at KVCAP.
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 for a local neighbor when no other resource exists. KVCAP Community Investors are lifesavers, financially contributing to address situations that threaten an individual’s or family’s stability. Common requests are for car repairs, beds, and medical items.
To learn more about all our giving opportunities, please contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@kvcap.org.
KVCAP is always seeking new Volunteer Drivers for our Transportation Department. Drivers are reimbursed for their mileage, bringing people to and from medical appointments. Our South End Teen Center in Waterville invites volunteers who are willing to dedicate their time engaging with members, sharing a talent or passion, or providing homework support. Our Social Services Department welcomes volunteers to help sort and package diaper donations and baby clothing. For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Andrea Pasco at andreap@kvcap.org.
