The Maine Community Foundation (MaineCF) seeks reviewers to evaluate grant proposals to its Maine Expansion Arts grant program.
MaineCF values the perspective and input of people with experience and understanding of the arts and nonprofit arts organizations in Maine. Expansion Arts funds projects and nonprofit organizations that serve Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) and those in rural communities – especially in areas with limited access to arts. Reviewers will read and recommend proposals for grant funding in 2023.
Last year the Maine Expansion Arts grant program awarded 18 grants totaling $148,500. View the 2022 grants here.
Those interested in reviewing proposals must submit this form before Sept. 12. Prospective reviewers will be notified by Sept. 18. Reviewers will receive a $350 stipend in acknowledgement of their time and commitment to the program.
Learn more about the reviewer requirements here and a guide to reviewing proposals here.
