Background
The Sagadahoc County Fund was established in 2019. The purpose of the fund is to support nonprofit organizations and projects that serve Sagadahoc County. This fund is a permanent, grantmaking resource that grows through contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations. These partners share our commitment to strengthen Maine communities and increase charitable resources for all.
The Southern Midcoast Committee is made up of leaders who live and/or work in Sagadahoc and Lincoln counties. These advisors serve as local ambassadors for the foundation, review proposals, recommend grant awards, and help build philanthropic resources in the region.
The Southern Midcoast Committee awards grants from the Sagadahoc County Fund and other related funds through the Community Building Grant Program. They make recommendations to fund proposals that meet the grant program criteria and have the greatest potential for positive impact on the quality of life in Sagadahoc County.
