​PORTLAND—The Hospice Fund of the Maine Community Foundation seeks applications for grants to support hospice programs in southern Maine, particularly those that provide volunteer and bereavement services in Cumberland and York counties. 
​Preference will be given to proposals that raise community awareness of hospice and bereavement services; increase the utilization and/or the quality of end-of-life services; and support hospice volunteers and the recruitment of volunteers, including outreach, training, and recognition.
 
Applications must be submitted by February 15, 2020. Organizations will be notified in May. For complete guidelines, application and a list of last year’s grants, visit www.mainecf.org or call (877) 700-6800.
 
In 2019 the fund awarded $26,000 in grants to five nonprofits, including:
  • Hospice Help Foundation, to help impoverished hospice patients gain access to essential needs that boost their dignity, comfort, and quality of life
  • Hospice of Southern Maine, to expand the training program to geographic areas with few or no volunteers as well as provide diversity training to the existing team.
 
For more information, visit www.mainecf.org or contact Director of Grantmaking Laura Lee at (877) 700-6800 or llee@mainecf.org.
Headquartered in Ellsworth, with additional personnel in Portland, Dover-Foxcroft, and Mars Hill, the Maine Community Foundation works with donors and other partners to provide strong investments, personalized service, local expertise, and strategic giving to improve the quality of life for all Maine people. To learn more about the foundation, visit www.mainecf.org
