Ideal Applicant
A small, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) serving Maine-based community needs (food security, health, legal aid, youth programs, churches or local schools) with modest budget needs and local presence.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a 501(c)(3) (not a private foundation).
- • Programs primarily serve Maine communities or have a clear Maine connection.
- • Request size matches prior small grants (hundreds to low thousands).
- • Track record of local service or prior relationship with trustees or grantees.
- • Clear, concrete community impact in food, health, legal aid, youth, or faith-based services.
Geography
Grants are concentrated in Maine (about 63% of dollars) but the latest year shows awards across eight states, so the footprint is primarily state-focused with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 31 distinct, mostly independent recipients across varied sectors (churches, hospitals, food pantries, legal aid, schools), with both returning and new grantees observed.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (several new recipients each year) and the funder publishes application restrictions and a rolling submission route with a named contact, so unfamiliar 501(c)(3) applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
