PISCATAQUIS OBSERVER • September 30, 2021
For 35 years the Maine Community Foundation Piscatquis County Fund has awarded nearly $1 million in grants to nonprofits working to improve the quality of life in the region. The county fund anniversary, along with those serving Aroostook and Washington counties, was celebrated during a late afternoon presentation over Zoom on Sept. 28. The program included the presentation of a 35th anniversary award to the Appalachian Mountain Club. Steve Tatko, director of Maine conservation and land management for the Appalachian Mountain Club, said it has been an honor and privilege to “have support from Maine Community Foundation and all that they’ve done to advance AMC’s work for conservation-oriented education and programming and actual conservation restoration here in this region.”
