Ideal Applicant
A local 501(c)(3) serving women and/or children in the greater Waterville/Mid‑Maine area with a clear, community‑facing program or small capital need.
Good Fit
- • Based in Waterville or surrounding Mid‑Maine communities.
- • Work explicitly benefits women and/or children.
- • Request matches typical grant sizes (mostly <$5K; rare awards larger).
- • Able to submit the club's donation request form by the April deadline.
- • Willing to demonstrate local impact or offer community/naming visibility.
Geography
Observed grants across all three years were confined to Maine, with the latest year showing every dollar staying in‑state; the giving footprint is local to Waterville/Mid‑Maine.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 19 distinct recipients (previous years 12 and 14), indicating a broad set of independent local grantees despite some dollar concentration among a few top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes a donation request form and deadline, does not limit giving to preselected organizations, and funded 10 new recipients in 2023 (and new recipients in earlier years), so unfamiliar local applicants appear likely to gain entry.
