United Midcoast Charities annual Grantee Breakfast to participate in virtual global conversation advocating for hope, kindness
CAMDEN – On September 11, during National Compassionate Leadership Week, author and philanthropist Donato Tramuto, of the TramutoPorter Foundation, will host a live conversation at United Midcoast Charities’ Annual Grantee Breakfast Celebration sponsored by the Samoset Resort in Rockport.
Tramuto, speaking from Maine, will be joined virtually by 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi, who will participate via Zoom from India.
The conversation, held on the anniversary of September 11, will examine the crucial role of compassion in leadership and its healing power. Community members can register for the free virtual event here.
National Compassionate Leadership Week honors leaders who use empathy to drive success in business, education, and community. The week highlights the proven benefits of compassionate leadership and its positive impact on all areas of life.
“Our goal is to create a movement that brings more compassion into every part of life,” said Tramuto, in a news release. “By honoring those who lead with compassion, we aim to build momentum and make a lasting impact.”
This year, United Midcoast Charities is distributing grants totaling $630,000 to 42 agencies providing the basic needs of food, housing, health & safety, and economic security to residents of Knox and Waldo counties. We couldn’t think of a more inspiring topic for an event dedicated to leaders who are committed to compassionate leadership within their own organizations.
United Midcoast Charities provides financial support, strategic guidance, and tangible resources to Midcoast nonprofits providing services in food, housing, health and safety, and economic security. UMC strengthens these community-focused organizations to achieve their missions more effectively and have a greater impact.
