Donor Services: Partnering with Donors

The Maine Community Foundation accomplishes its mission through developing active partnerships with donors and others who believe, as we do, that positive change can occur through effective charitable giving.

The Maine Community Foundation offers several ways to help you make a difference with your giving. By partnering with the foundation, donors receive the tax advantages of a public charity combined with the personal recognition, involvement and flexibility of a private foundation. Donors also gain access to strategic thinking on ways to meet community challenges.

Donor Services

The Maine Community Foundation offers a range of services to help donors fulfill their philanthropic goals.

We provide donors with professional grant and gift processing, as well as investment services. We also assist donors in being effective philanthropists.

As part of our donor services, we commit to:

• Maintain an investment program that preserves and enhances the real value of the funds over time
• Provide accurate and timely information about gifts made to MaineCF
• Understand the needs of Maine communities
• Offer fund advisors and other MaineCF donors opportunities to collaborate with other advisors and donors
• Recognize the community spirit of our donors
• Respect donors' rights (see: MaineCF Donor Bill of Rights)
