Alfred M. Senter Fund seeks grant applications from charities

BATH — The Alfred M. Senter Fund is soliciting grant applications from any public charity in the Bath-Brunswick area that provides a service in the state of Maine and meets the requirements of the trust documents.
The fund is a private charitable trust authorized to make grants to charities that promote the cultural, educational, environmental and general health and welfare of the inhabitants of Brunswick, Durham, Lisbon, Harpswell, Topsham, West Bath and Bath.
The fund especially seeks to support charities for which small grants will make a significant difference. However, it does not normally award grants supporting annual operating budgets or to add to the endowment of other nonprofit organizations.
The fund committee is soliciting requests for grants, with the requirement that grant applications be submitted by mail with an original and five copies and that they be received no later than Oct. 31. Application forms are available from Senter Place Management Office in Brunswick by telephone at 207-725-6610, fax at 207-725-6612, email at senterplace@gmail.com or by visiting www.senterplace.com.
Alfred Senter was the owner of Senter’s Department Store on Maine Street in Brunswick and the Greenery Restaurant at that location. The property today is Senter Place, which which is occupied by a variety of businesses offering services to the public. The net income from Senter Place contributes to the funds in the Alfred M. Senter Fund from which the annual grants are made.
