ELLSWORTH — Grants to nonprofit organizations that serve disadvantaged, underserved and/or vulnerable communities in Maine, including in the Lewiston/Auburn area, are available from the Frances Hollis Brain Foundation Fund of the Maine Community Foundation. The deadline for the first phase of the application is Friday, June 30.
David and Frances Brain established the Frances Hollis Brain Foundation in 1993 to address social issues and encourage the family’s future generations to contribute to the well-being of communities in Maine, Georgia, and Kentucky where they live, according to a news release from the Maine Community Foundation.
The fund awards grants to nonprofit organizations that focus on individuals who live in greater Portland, Lewiston/Auburn, Bath/Brunswick, Biddeford/Saco/Sanford, or to organizations with a statewide mission. Grants are awarded to support early childhood care and education; extended-day learning; community clinics and oral health initiatives; hunger prevention and food security; homelessness alleviation; and legal services connected to these areas.
