“Over the next ten years, Mainers are likely to transfer $29 billion to the next generation. ……If we invest just 5% or 10% of the wealth passed to the next generation in a local community institution, we could create a community legacy that perpetuates and enhances our valued quality of life.”

Your investment will finance loans to a range of projects meeting the 3E investing criteria, such as:

  • small businesses that create jobs, income and ownership for low income people
  • microenterprises
  • community facilities that provide needed services, such as childcare and healthcare
  • housing that is safe, energy efficient and affordable for low income families
  • value-added processing of natural resources that contributes to sustainable management while creating jobs and income in traditional sectors such as small farms, fisheries, aquaculture and forest products.
 
 

To help create economically and environmentally healthy communities in which all people,
especially those with low incomes, can reach their full potential.
