Be A Changemaker.

We Build Community

Change happens in community. We bring people together around shared values and work collectively for a more just and equitable Maine.

We Move Money

We get money into the hands of leaders doing critical organizing and activism for justice. How? We raise money and turn it over to the community to decide how it should be used.

We Support Organizers and Activists

There is amazing justice and equity work happening throughout our state. We connect you with Maine’s Change-makers —Black, Brown, Indigenous, Immigrant, and Latinx leaders — and fund the movements that empower us all.

Maine Initiatives Fall 2023 COVID-19 Protocols

All Maine Initiatives’ in-person events follow COVID-19 protocols aligned with current recommendations from the CDC.  Masking is currently optional. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at all events, as a safety precaution for anyone who wants it. We strive to host events with outdoor seating options when possible, weather permitting.  Maine Initiatives asks that anyone with cold or flu symptoms stay home and not attend in-person events.  We also strongly encourage individuals to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and test themselves for COVID-19 if they have symptoms or think they may have a possible exposure. You can find a list of testing sites in Maine here or you can order free at-home tests here.  If we are notified of a positive exposure at a Maine Initiatives’ event, all registered participants will be notified via email swiftly. Our highest priority is our community’s health and safety.
