Description
The River Rock Shared Future Fund, managed by the Maine Community Foundation, provides two-year general support grants to organizations working to advance racial equity across Maine. The fund prioritizes organizations whose primary work increases economic opportunity, educational attainment, health, and community well-being for underserved populations or geographic areas. Flexible funding supports new, expanding, or ongoing programs as well as operational needs, including capital expenses. The program values inclusive engagement—organizations must involve the communities they serve in program design, delivery, evaluation, or leadership.
