Ignite Presque Isle Receives Donation & Grant
Ignite Presque Isle received a $50,000 donation from MMG (Maine Mutual Group) which dedicates the co-workspace and business center, and also supports the build out and renovations to the former Cooper’s Lounge.
The space will be both shared space, dedicated desks, and independent offices for rent to businesses and individuals, said Jan Lucas, MBA, CEM, Community Manager.
Also, the Maine Community Foundation gave a $25,000 grant from the Makerspace and Incubator Fund as recommended by the Start Up Scale Up advisors. Ignite Presque Isle will use the grant money for furniture and co-workspace equipment. Just a few weeks ago, the Maine Community Foundation awarded Ignite PI a $10,000 Community Building Grant.
