2027 Goals
We are committed to expanding access to justice and supporting social justice efforts throughout Maine. The Foundation provides critical funding to civil legal aid programs to ensure that all Maine people, regardless of income, can access the legal help they need. We also fund Maine-based nonprofit organizations working to advance fairness and justice across all areas of Maine society in crucial areas such as the legal system, healthcare, education, the workplace, food insecurity, natural resources, and housing.
