The year is 1983: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" dominates the radio. Motorola introduces the mobile phone and the modern internet is invented. In our beautiful, rugged corner of the country, the Maine Community Foundation launches with $10 and a mission to improve the quality of life for all Maine people.
Much has changed in the world and at MaineCF since then. We have offices in Ellsworth and Portland, with staff across the state. Said staff have (arguably) better haircuts. Our grant applications are submitted online rather than through the mail, and we can listen to music from our cell phones.
What hasn't changed? Our commitment to build a better Maine. We're building on 40 years of history to impact communities in every corner of the state through strategic giving, community leadership and meaningful partnerships.
From our first donor-advised fund to today, MaineCF has been - and will continue - building a better Maine.
