Grants for Change 2022
Grants for Change 2022 is LIVE!
We are pleased to announce that Maine Initiatives’ 2022 Grants for Change program is LIVE!
This year, we are launching a new, three-year, $1.5 million round of Grants for Change grantmaking to Black, Wabanaki, and People of Color-led and -serving (BIPOC-led and -serving) organizations advancing racial justice work and strengthening community building efforts statewide.
This fall, our community will select and fund a cohort of twelve (12) BIPOC-led organizations advancing racial justice work and strengthening community building efforts across the state. The organizations selected for the 2022 Grants for Change cohort will receive general operating grants of $45,000 paid out over three years, $15,000 annually. Learn more about this year’s process and application details here!

We will select this year’s G4C Cohort using a broadly participatory, community-based decision-making process that offers opportunities for community volunteers to participate as Proposal Readers and as members of the Grantmaking Advisory Committee.
