Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit serving the Boothbay/central Maine community (arts, historical preservation, marine science, community services) with a record of local impact and connections to the region's civic network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in or primarily serves Boothbay Harbor / coastal Maine.
- • Mission aligns with arts, historical preservation, marine conservation, education, or community services.
- • Requests are for general operating support or small-to-mid sized program grants ($2.5k–$50k).
- • Has existing relationships or introductions to local civic leaders or previous grantees.
Geography
Although grants touched four states in the record, 98% of dollars in the latest year were concentrated in Maine, showing a strongly local (Boothbay/coastal Maine) footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 20 distinct recipients (and 17 first-time recipients that year), and across three years only three repeat grantees were observed, indicating a broad and changing recipient set for this small foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is strong (17 new recipients in 2024), but the foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected applicants and offers no public application route; new entrants appear to gain funding largely via invitation or networks, so unsolicited applicants have limited entry paths.
