Intergenerational Community Building Grant

We are launching a new grant program to support Maine-based organizations in developing and carrying out intergenerational community-building projects that bring people of different ages together to learn, connect, and care for one another.

Part of the Permanent Commission’s mission is to support and create programs that expand opportunity and strengthen belonging for under-resourced racial, Indigenous, and tribal communities across Maine.

What is the grant for?

The Public Narrative Change Grant will fund public events that change the way we talk about race, history, and justice. The goal is to tell the truth about how we got here, push back on harmful misconceptions, and bring people together around true stories that reflect our values: honesty, freedom, justice, and community.
