PORTLAND — Maine Initiatives invites community volunteers to become Readers for the 2024 Grants for Change Program, a participatory grant-making initiative that funds and strengthens Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color-led and -serving organizations advancing racial justice in Maine and unceded Wabanaki territory.
Hundreds of G4C readers statewide contribute to this participatory process each year, according to a news release from Maine Initiatives.
Volunteers will review and evaluate three submitted applications to the 2024 G4C Program, and contribute to the community-led decision-making process.
