The Maine Community Foundation’s Investing in Leaders of Color Program seeks proposals.
The program is designed for nine people of color in leadership positions at nonprofit organizations that serve communities of color and promote racial equity in Maine.
The program offers one-on-one coaching, a professional development stipend, and support for operating costs. The maximum grant awarded through the program to organizations is $6,950.
Online applications are due Sept. 15. Applicants will be notified of final decisions in mid-November.
Full guidelines, application, and a list of 2020 grant recipients are available at mainecf.org.
The program is part of the foundation’s racial equity strategic work, which is building the field of people and organizations to increase the quality of life for all Maine people.
“Nonprofit leaders of color are core drivers of racial equity work in Maine,” said Senior Program Officer Gloria Aponte C., according to a news release from the foundation. “The goal of the ILOC Program is to support nonprofit leaders of color and their organizations.”
Those who have questions about the program can contact Aponte C. by email at gaponteclarke@mainecf.org or call 207-761-2440.
