Summary
Grant opportunity designed to strengthen community well-being across Maine and Massachusetts. The funding is primarily intended for nonprofit organizations that support local residents through programs focused on improving quality of life, increasing access to essential services, and reinforcing the long-term stability of families and communities. While the grant does not usually extend to individuals or private businesses, small and mid-sized nonprofits that serve rural or economically challenged areas are often considered strong candidates.
The grant is typically offered within specific counties and coastal or forested communities in the Northeast, as well as certain population centers in a nearby New England state. Award amounts may vary based on project scope, but organizations have historically received support in the range of tens of thousands of dollars, including awards around seventy-five thousand dollars for initiatives that enhance housing stability, community health, and essential service access.
Funds may be used for a variety of community-centered purposes, such as repairing homes for families with limited means, improving organizational capacity for nonprofits undergoing transitions, expanding youth or wellness programming, or supporting collaborations among local service providers. The opportunity places value on long-term impact rather than short-term fixes, encouraging projects that build stronger, more resilient communities over time.
Applicants are generally expected to be tax-exempt organizations with a clear mission, strong local presence, and goals aligned with community uplift and stability. Programs that address housing challenges, family well-being, behavioral health, poverty reduction, and community resource development fall within the broad areas of interest.
This grant opportunity provides meaningful financial support for organizations seeking to expand their reach, enhance their operations, and create measurable improvements for the people and neighborhoods they serve.
