2025 Program Update: Working Toward Greater Impact
In 2025, the Welch Charitable Fund grant program will not accept applications. Instead, the grant review committee will pilot using an invitation only grantmaking model.
In early May, the 2025 invitations were emailed to eligible organizations inviting them to complete a proposal and noting that not all applicants will receive an award due to funding limitations. Please direct questions to Katie Howard, Community Partner, khoward@mainecf.org.
