Help for Applicants
Grantmaking is part of the community foundation's commitment to improve the quality of life for all Maine people.
Our Approach
All MaineCF grantmaking work is guided by the belief that communities have the capacity for self-improvement. Our role is to connect individuals, organizations, and communities to the knowledge, skills, tools, and support they need to make the most of opportunities for improvement.
Additional Support
Maine staff members frequently provide technical assistance and guidance to nonprofits to share best practices and information about grant support. We also regularly develop and implement special projects or initiatives to advance our issue areas.
