The Maine Women’s Giving Tree awarded more than $104,000 in grants to 15 area nonprofits at a May ceremony.
Each of the awardees went through an extensive review process to evaluate factors such as need and compatibility with the Maine Women’s Giving Tree mission.
The Maine Women’s Giving Tree is a group of women dedicated to making a positive impact in their communities by collectively serving women, children and families. Members pool their dollars and decide how to distribute those dollars through grants to nonprofits that align with the Giving Tree’s mission.
The Giving Tree is active in the Midcoast, serving towns from Wiscasset to Freeport.
