Maine Women’s Giving Tree
Founded in 2009, The Maine Women’s Giving Tree (MWGT) is an independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. 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 $398,078 in grants to outstanding community organizations and have grown to include 75 members.
MWGT awards grants once a year. The process begins in the fall with a request for proposals and culminates with an awards ceremony in May. If you are not on our electronic mailing list and would like to be notified when the next awards cycle begins, contact us at Grants@Mainewomensgivingtree.org. Also, MWGT invites agencies to showcase their work to our members. Any agency that fits our guidelines and does not have an active application is encouraged to make a presentation at membership Education meetings.
You do not have to be a member to make a donation.
All donations To Maine Women’s Giving Tree are tax-deductible. To make a donation please read the “Giving Levels” page under “Join Us” tab.
