Maine Women’s Giving Tree
Founded in 2009, The Maine Women’s Giving Tree is a Donor Advised Fund of the Maine Community Foundation. We believe that by pooling our dollars and together deciding how to distribute those dollars, we make a greater impact in our communities than we could as individual donors. Since 2012 we have awarded nearly $350,000 in grants to outstanding community organizations and have grown to include 75 members. Here’s an overview of Maine Women’s Giving Tree’s work over the past ten years: 10th Anniversary Celebration
