We’re a private philanthropic foundation working to provide people in Maine with meaningful connections to the arts and the natural environment. By expanding access to these experiences, we hope to inspire people to sustain arts and environmental resources for future generations. Through grantmaking, convening, and resource sharing, we help organizations — especially those supporting rural areas and underresourced communities — build their capacity and efficiently achieve their goals.

We strive to build trusting relationships with grantees, community leaders, government leaders, and like-minded funders across Maine, learning from individuals and organizations locally and beyond. We also support and participate in initiatives that educate the public about the importance of the arts, environmental protection, and inclusive, equitable practices.
