At the Maine Savings Foundation, we’re deeply committed to strengthening communities across Maine. Our mission is to support initiatives that improve quality of life and promote long-term community development through both funding and hands-on involvement.

We believe that meaningful change starts at the local level — where strong relationships, volunteer efforts, and access to opportunity can spark a ripple effect of progress. By working alongside dedicated community partners and contributing time, energy, and resources, we strive to build a more vibrant, resilient Maine.

We go beyond traditional philanthropy. For us, giving isn’t just about financial support — it’s about living with purpose, empowering others, and investing in the well-being of our fellow Mainers.

Through structured grantmaking, deep community connections, and a values-driven approach, we’re proud to support public charities and grassroots efforts that bring lasting, positive change. The Maine Savings Foundation serves as a catalyst for collective action and a trusted steward of community betterment.


We’re excited to announce the launch of the Beyond Banking Grant Program — an initiative designed to support bold, impactful community projects throughout Maine.
