WHITNEYVILLE – Whitneyville Public Library is one of the 19 Maine nonprofits selected to receive a $25,000 endowment challenge grant from the Maine Community Foundation. The challenge grant is one of the ways the foundation is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Through a competitive process, the Maine Community Foundation selected Maine-based nonprofits in Oxford, Franklin, Somerset, Piscataquis, Aroostook, Washington and Hancock counties to receive challenge grants and technical assistance. The grants will help establish new or expand existing permanent endowment funds for each of the 19 organizations.
The Whitneyville Public Library’s endowment is just over $100,000 and this challenge grant will allow the library to reach more than $150,000. This will generate more than $7,500 annually to sustain current library services.
