Maine Women's Fund Announces 2008-2009 Grantees

Last week the Maine Women’s Fund announced the recipients of their 2008 – 2009 grant cycle.  They have awarded nearly $80,000 in social grants to nine Maine organizations.  Each of these grant recipients have a long history of promoting and implementing social change in Maine.

The Maine Women’s Policy Center is very excited and appreciative to be one of these nine recipients.

As a public foundation, the Maine Women’s Fund has created lasting social change by investing in the power of women and the dreams of girls. They’re the only public foundation in Maine that invests in women and girls specifically. In the last 20 years they have granted over $1.5 million to organizations across Maine.

“We are helping Maine women and girls create their own stability so that they can pursue healthy, prosperous, independent lives,” said Stefanski. “When you change the life of one woman, you also impact the life of her children and indeed the community. The change can be tremendous.”
