Ideal Applicant
A small, Maine-based scouting troop, council, or local youth-development group seeking project- or event-specific support (camp fees, registration, meals, or scout activities).
Good Fit
- • Located in Maine, especially the Belfast/Bangor area.
- • Explicitly related to Scouting or youth development programs.
- • Request is for a discrete, short-term need (camp fees, event support, supplies).
- • Grant size under $10,000 and one-off or annual event-focused.
- • Has local references or an existing relationship with foundation contacts.
Geography
All observed grants across 2022–2024 went to organizations in Maine, with no out-of-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded three distinct recipients each year and the same three returned across all three observed years, indicating a small, narrow recipient set concentrated on scouting groups.
New Applicants
Direct giving behavior shows no new grantees over three years, and although a written/verbal application route exists, the consistent repeat funding pattern suggests low likelihood that unfamiliar applicants will enter the portfolio.
