Every business that starts or grows—whether a Washington County farm, a New Mainer’s new business in Portland, a solar array in Massachusetts or a peanut processing facility in Georgia—generates a ripple effect of greater self-sufficiency, resilience and economic mobility.

We welcome your engagement in, and support for, our work.
