150,000 Futures Brightened!


The My Alfond Grant program has reached an incredible milestone! We are very excited to share that over 150,000 Maine kids now have an Alfond Grant, giving our youngest generation the opportunity to dream big! Since the program's beginning, over $75 million has been invested in Maine kids' futures. Together, we can help make their big dreams a reality!

Partner Spotlight


In the spirit of the season, we extend a big thank you to our hospital partners for their exceptional efforts. Your year-round dedication positively impacts families, and we appreciate you sharing the hope that the Alfond Grant offers!


Thank you to Waldo County General Hospital and MidCoast Hospital for inviting us to their recent staff meetings. Staff presentations are a great way for us to remind nurses of the critical role they play in supporting the My Alfond Grant program, and we always love learning how they're sharing our information with families!


We also want to highlight the teams who are making great strides in having birth mothers complete their Alfond Grant contact cards before they leave the hospital. Lincoln Health-Miles Campus & Hospital continues to improve each quarter - so far this year they have increased their contact card completion by over 63% from last year! Great work! Over at Central Maine Medical Center, their staff is leading the charge with 89% of birth mothers completing their contact cards! Amazing!


You are all incredible, and your support means more to us than words can express!
