Community Health Options awards grants and makes donations as part of our Community Benefit Expenditure (CBE), administered by the Maine Community Foundation. We will award up to $50,000 in grant funding to community programs across the state of Maine during our 2024 Wellness Grant cycle, opening March 11, 2024.
The CBE supports nonprofit, grassroots community-based programs in Maine that promote physical and emotional well-being, specifically innovative projects and or replication of evidence-based concepts.
