The YWCA of the Mohawk Valley is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and covered under the umbrella of the Fundamental Principles of the International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies to prepare our communities for emergencies, respond to those emergencies and help our neighbors recover from the emergencies. We embrace all who want to help and especially focus on engaging the energy and talent of our youth volunteers.
The mission of the National Brain Injury Foundation is to provide opportunities and support for its members to transform their lives through a unique approach that encourages self-development. The natural social interaction within this diverse group helps to build self-esteem, and instill the self-confidence necessary for increased integration into their communities. NBIF members are advocates for change, spreading awareness of brain injury through personal testimony. The NBIF will also provide education and training to natural supports, service providers, and communities nationwide.
The mission of Move Along Inc. is to provide adapted recreational opportunities for people who live with disabilities in Central New York. By offering an array of athletic and artistic programming and opportunities for peer-to-peer support, Move Along Inc. will help build and develop participants' self-confidence and enhance their sense of self-worth, thereby enabling them to better integrate themselves fully into society and act as their own advocates.
The UMAF is Raising Money for Charity
UMAF Charitable Venture - I ♥ Charity!
The Utica Music and Arts Fest is raising money for charity! We will be launching a unique Social Media Campaign, through which 100 percent of all proceeds will be donated to local and national non-profit organizations. We want to see philanthropy go viral.
The plan is to raise a pool of money through sponsorships and live events throughout the city during February, March and April 2010. Select non-profit organizations will receive donations from this, as a result of social networking partnerships with UMAF. Every organization involved will have a Facebook page and Twitter account designed, branded and developed in partnership between the selected agency and UMAF, specifically for this event.
Participating organizations can earn donations from posting links, sharing messages about the effort and encouraging others to do the same via Facebook, Twitter, blogs and YouTube. With a few simple clicks, each friend, follower or fan can share links to help raise money and play their part in making a difference- right from their own computer.
Applications from eligible non-profits will be accepted from January 15th through February 28th, 2010. Agencies which are accepted will be notified by March 15th. To apply for consideration as a UMAF Charity, please click this link.

New UMAF Website
Last year we had a lot of fans coming to the site to check out the UMAF performers. They loved the featured artists section and videos but needed a better way to get around. So... after listening to user feedback we decided to move forward and make improvements to the existing site. Long story short... we realized we needed to build a different one that offered more features and easier navigation.
