The Equity Fund of the Maine Community Foundation seeks grant proposals for projects that serve Maine’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community.
Applications for project grants supporting the LGBTQ community in rural and other under-served communities are particularly encouraged, as are proposals for capacity-building support.
The deadline for applications is Sept. 15. Apply online at www.mainecf.org.
The Equity Fund is advised by a group of volunteers with expertise in LGBTQ issues. Last year, the committee distributed $27,500 in four grants ranging in size from $5,000 to the maximum $7,500.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
