Since the early 1990s, the Maine Community Foundation has supported land trusts and conservation organizations through the Fund for Maine Land Conservation. The fund awarded nearly 200 grants totaling $889,768. In 2018, MaineCF received a bequest which made it possible to reexamine and redesign our grantmaking approach to land conservation. We closed the Fund for Maine Land Conservation and in its place created two new land conservation grant programs: 1) Conservation for All, which offers general support, and 2) Maine Land Protection, which offers support for land acquisitions and easements. Deadline for applications is October 15, 2020.
