The fund supports projects and organizations that promote Maine traditional handcrafts. Only nonprofit and municipal organizations are eligible; MaineCF cannot make grants to individual artists. New this year, due to the pandemic, the fund will offer general operating support grants ONLY to organizations whose SOLE mission centers on Maine traditional handcrafts.  The maximum grant award is $10,000 for work that will begin September 1, 2021, or later. The grant application deadline is June 1, 2021. The online application, eligibility criteria, other guidelines, and a complete list of 2020 grants are available at www.mainecf.org.
