START AN ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP

Getting started is simple. A named endowed scholarship requires a minimum gift of $10,000, which can be made as a one-time contribution or built over time through multiple gifts. Once the fund reaches the minimum level, it begins generating annual scholarship support for students—forever.We’re always happy to work with:

  • Individuals who wish to honor a family member, mentor, or personal milestone
  • Businesses looking to give back or support future employees in specific industries
  • Groups interested in pooling contributions to establish a collective legacy

Why Create an Endowment?

  • It lasts forever. Your fund will continue to support students year after year.
  • It reflects your values. You can name the fund and help define the purpose.
  • It provides peace of mind. Funds are managed and stewarded with care through our partnership with the Maine Community Foundation.
