2025 Program Update: Working Toward Greater Impact
Maine Community Foundation continually evaluates, adapts and designs its competitive grant programs to reflect community needs and the foundation’s strategic initiatives. Building a better Maine is important, but it isn’t always easy.
The Maine Land Protection grant program is undergoing an exciting redesign to align with MaineCF’s climate initiative and commitment to equity. The grant programs for our fall cycle will reopen July 15 to accept new applications.
