“The Community Building Grant Program invests in local projects and organizations that work to build strong communities. It is a grassroots grant program focused on efforts to use, improve and/or increase access to community assets. These community assets include natural and built resources, as well as community members, their views and voices, local leaders, and the relationships or connections among people and organizations across the community.
The Community Building Grant Program is one of the only grant programs in Maine that supports a broad range of projects and organizations across the entire state, including arts, education, environment, economic development, and human services. It is also MaineCF’s largest grant program and receives more than 400 applications annually. For the 2021 grant cycle, the focus will be on building community resilience in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proposed projects or organizations must:
- Invest in people by strengthening skills, knowledge, abilities, and/or well-being of community members
- Maximize community strengths and resources by improving access to or the use of community-based resources, including people, organizations, and built and natural environments
