The Midcoast Youth Center, a Bath nonprofit serving local students, is asking the city council to reconsider its annual funding allotment after councilors slashed the city’s contribution from $30,000 last year to $3,000.
Midcoast Youth Center Founder Jamie Dorr said while the city’s $30,000 contribution is a small piece of the nonprofit’s $479,000 annual budget, it covers the organization’s operations bill, including paying for electricity, internet, trash removal and some food and materials the center offers students for free.

Common Good Grant Program Turns Twenty, Students Give Away Record Amount Bowdoin s Common Good Grant program (CGG) is twenty years old this year. Acting much like a foundation, students in the program solicit donations and award grants to local nonprofits, learning both about philanthrophy and the greater Brunswick community in the process.

An anonymous donor from the Class of 1964 established CGG in 2001 with an original gift of $10,000. (That fund later became an endowed gift that generates at least $10,000 annually.) The donor hoped the exercise of giving would inspire students to commit to a lifetime of philanthropy, as well as teach them the ways local charities support communities, often on tight budgets.
