Focus Areas.


We primarily award grants to organizations that serve the people and communities of Aroostook County and the surrounding region of Northern Maine. Organizations may be considered outside of this region on a discretionary basis. 
​
 OUR FOUR PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS:
Education
Economic Development
Social and Environmental Responsibility
​Health and Wellness


We expect the organizations that we work
with to be inclusive  
of all within the community. 
We avoid exclusive, non-collaborative
​ a
pproaches to programs and services.​​

Education

Economic Development

We support organizations that promote educational excellence that help all people improve themselves through educational opportunities.  Inclusion of students from all ages, ethnicities and  economic backgrounds is key. 

Social & Environmental Responsibility

We support efforts in communities and companies that demonstrate their duty to act in the best interests of society and the environment.  

We support organizations that improve the economic and social well-being of people and communities.  We encourage focused activities on innovation, infrastructure and cross-sector collaboration in the promotion of economic growth.

Health & Wellness

We invest in organizations and efforts that promote healthy lifestyles such as nutrition, physical exercise, dental health, Alzheimer’s research and mental health initiatives.
