Donors with advised funds at MaineCF have tripled 2021 grant awards that will help older Mainers with transportation and deliveries. The $151,000 in grants was awarded from MaineCF’s Maine Charity Foundation Fund, with an additional $109,000 directed from advised funds. Projects supported ranged from volunteer transportation programs to food delivery services in rural areas. The Maine Charity Foundation was established in 1921 and transferred to MaineCF in 1993. In 2018, the grant program turned its focus to older people as part of MaineCF’s strategic goal initiative on Thriving Older People.
