United Recovery Fund Information

United Recovery Fund, (formerly Maine Recovery Fund), is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2017 to provide support, dignity, and purpose to people re-entering the workforce, affected by substance use disorder and incarceration, resulting in financial independence and economic viability. We partner with the B-Corp social staffing company, MaineWorks, to provide the critical support needed for people who are recovering from substance use disorders and/or are formerly incarcerated individuals to transform their lives. Headquartered in Portland Maine with geographic presence in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, United Recovery Fund provides a means for hundreds of individuals to access support and services that they need to achieve and maintain meaningful employment while also cultivating a healing community that helps prevent relapse and recidivism. Our goal at United Recovery Fund is to provide access to medical, dental, and mental health care, housing assistance, grocery cards, job-specific clothing and tools, transportation, and anything else our clients need to show up comfortably and confidently at work each day. We help our clients look forward by providing banking support, assistance with legal fees and fines, license reinstatement and career counseling. Additionally, United Recovery Fund holds regular community events throughout the year to help our clients access a sense of shared experience, build relationships, and establish a socially anchored sense of self. United Recovery Fund and MaineWorks have been recognized in countless media outlets and magazines, including Forbes and the NY Times. Margo Walsh, founder of MaineWorks and Co-Founder of United Recovery Fund, has been recognized and acknowledged across the globe for her social innovation and outstanding community leadership.
