Sandy Agrafiotis of South Berwick and Fatima Saidi and Max Zakian of Biddeford are the newest members of the Maine Community Foundation’s (MaineCF) York County Grantmaking Committee.

MaineCF’s county committees are made up of community members who live or work in the county and serve as local ambassadors for the foundation, sharing their knowledge and providing on-the-ground local leadership for the foundation.

The York County Grantmaking Committee’s volunteer county advisors review grant proposals for MaineCF’s Community Building Grant Program and recommend grant awards from the York County Fund. Community Building supports a broad range of projects and organizations across the state, including arts, education, environment, economic development, and human services.

Agrafiotis serves on the board of Great Works Regional Land Trust and volunteers with Southern Maine Agency on Aging. Saidi is the development and relations manager at Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition.
Zakian is a research associate at Applied Curiosity Research and serves on the diversity, equity and inclusion committee for Heart of Biddeford and the Biddeford Climate Task Force.

Other committee members include Barb Belik of Kennebunkport; Eileen Conlon of Wells; Carter Friend of Sanford; Jason Ketterick of Kennebunk; Susan McDonough of York; and Amy Grohman and Mulenga Mutapa of Biddeford.

In 2022, the York County Fund awarded nine grants totaling $67,010.
