Description
The Patricia D. Klingenstein Grants Program is administered by the Sadie & Harry Davis Foundation, part of Klingenstein Philanthropies. It supports organizations addressing the physical, mental, and social health and well-being of Maine children from birth through age 18.
The program prioritizes children from low-income families, under-resourced communities, and other minoritized populations with limited supports and resources, including children from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and families living in poverty. It considers general operating, program, capacity-building, challenge, and matching grants. Successful applicants typically demonstrate strong track records and creative approaches grounded in data, theory, best practices, or evaluation methods.
