Knox County Fund
Established in 1993, the Knox County Fund provides permanent support to nonprofits in the region. Overseen by an advisory committee of local community leaders who partner with the foundation to build charitable resources, the Knox County Fund has awarded almost 100 grants since 1995.
In addition to the Knox County Fund, the Maine Community Foundation holds nearly $6.6 million in assets dedicated to Knox County in the form of donor-advised funds, scholarships, designated funds to support specific organizations, and field-of-interest funds.
The Maine Community Foundation manages the Knox County Fund, and local leaders, knowledgeable about their communities, help review grant applications and distribute funding.
