Because MPC members work on every side of an issue - as funders, nonprofits, foundation trustees, and volunteers - MPC is uniquely positioned to make connections among our members and make Maine a better place to live, work, and play. MPC's Member Spotlights are our chance to raise awareness of the philanthropy work happening in Maine, highlight new or interesting initiatives, and celebrate and recognize the people that make up the Maine philanthropy community.
MPC recently welcomed a few new board members, and are excited to introduce them to all of you in our Member Spotlight - Board Edition. Read on to meet Morgan Hynd, a program officer at the Maine Health Access Foundation and one of our newest board members!
We talked with Carolyn Wollen from the Betterment Fund, a private foundation with a primary geographic focus on western Maine and other rural Maine areas. Read on to hear from Carolyn about spy novels, philanthropy tradecraft, and working toward systemic change.
We had a chance to talk with Helen Meyer of Pine Tree Legal Assistance about her work in Maine. Read on to find out more about this MPC member, what challenges facing low-income people in Maine surprised Helen, and what gets her excited about going to work in the morning.
