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 $200,000 in grants to outstanding community organizations and have grown to include 70 members.
Congratulations to the 2019 Grant Awardees
On Wednesday, June 12th, the Maine Women’s Giving Tree (MWGT) awarded grants to twelve outstanding Midcoast Maine organizations that help women, children and families. Treasurer Diane Field thanked them for their dedicated work ranging from diapers for babies to nutritious meals for the elderly. The awards totaled $50,000.
