Community and Business Partners

Looking for information to share about My Alfond Grant with your employees and/or the families you serve? Read on for information and resources for those you work with who may have a child with an Alfond Grant.

For more than a decade, the Alfond Grant has invested $500 for babies born a Maine resident to support their bright future. We’re so proud to say that more than $74 million has been invested for over 14,000 children. We want to thank all of our business and community partners who have made this such a great success.

Business Partner THANK YOU Celebration!

We look forward to celebrating our ten year anniversary, Grow with ME, this October at a special reception for our Business Partners as a thank you for your continued commitment to our mission!

The Alfond Scholarship Foundation and the Harold Alfond Foundation want to recognize the efforts of Maine employers to raise the visibility of the Alfond Grant, encourage families to save for their children's future, demonstrate your care for your employees, and help build Maine's future workforce!

If you have any questions about this event or becoming a business partner please reach out to Kate Leveille, Director of Partnerships and Programs, at kate@myalfondgrant.org.

A Summer of Fun at Maine Libraries!

We have had a blast this summer meeting families across the state at their local library events. Recently, we attended the Casco Public Library's Summer Reading Program with our friends from the Finance Authority of Maine, allowing us the opportunity to talk to families and sharing information about the $500 Alfond Grant.

Caroline looks forward to working closely with families and partners throughout the state! She can be reached at caroline@myalfondgrant.org.

Back to school season can be stressful for both kids and parents. For kids, they have the anticipation of new classrooms and teachers, reuniting with friends, and the pressures of homework and extracurriculars on their minds. Parents have all this and more. Safe to say, September is a month of change for the entire family that can bring with it a lot of pressure. But there are plenty of (screen free) ways to counteract the stress! We're sharing some of our favorites on our blog!
