Maine Community Foundation offering grants for arts nonprofits
The Maine Community Foundation’s Maine Expansion Arts Fund is accepting applications from nonprofits for grants of up to $5,000 that support indigenous, ethnic or rural arts programs or projects, particularly those that serve areas with limited access to arts events.
The Maine Expansion Arts Fund is a collaborative effort of the National Endowment for the Arts, Lillian M. Berliawsky Charitable Trust, Maine Community Foundation and Maine Arts Commission to strengthen and ensure the future of these artistic traditions.
Additional funding is provided through the Elizabeth Laughlin Anderson Memorial Fund at the Maine Community Foundation.
The deadline for grant applications is Sept. 15. An online application is available here.
Recent grants were awarded to:
- Celebration Barn Theater, to collaborate with Norway Downtown to create an interactive performance;
- Gateway Milbridge, for free weekly musical performances at Gateway Theatre;
- The Committee to Restore the Abyssinian Meeting House in Portland, to research period clothing, create costumes and develop a script for a one-act play about the Underground Railroad.
A statewide organization with offices in Ellsworth and Portland, the Maine Community Foundation works with donors and other partners to improve the quality of life for all Maine people. For more information, check out its website here or call 1-877-700-6800.
