Maine Community Foundation
Room: Rhode Island Room
In 2022, the Maine Women's Fund, the only foundation in Maine focused exclusively on gender equity, transferred its assets to the Maine Community Foundation. This transition provides an opportunity to consider how we utilize these funds to address gender equity in Maine moving forward. This session will use a facilitated conversation format to hear about current gender equity issues and efforts and how they intersect with other equity and justice work. The goals of this session are to learn about gender equity work in Maine and how to bring together and take action for racial, economic, age, and gender justice.
