Grants & Giving - John T. Gorman Foundation Foundation Releases 2025 Progress Report FOUNDATION-INITIATED GRANTS The John T. Gorman Foundation invests in comprehensive strategies and initiatives that seek to improve the well-being and resiliency of Maine children by ensuring that they and their caregivers have the tools and supports needed to be successful.
The bulk of our investments are invitation-only to grantees that have demonstrated a capacity for whole-family or two-generation approaches to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and improve child and family wellbeing in five key areas: education, social capital, physical/mental health, wealth and assets, and employment navigation and supports.
We generally do not fund unsolicited proposals; however, organizations are welcome to contact us with ideas that are aligned with our strategic focus. Please contact info@jtgfoundation. org with a brief description of your proposal, including the issue you are seeking to address, approach (including rationale), and cost of implementation.
See Past Foundation-Initiated Grants The Direct Services Grant Program (DSGP) provides funding to non-profit organizations who address food insecurity and housing/shelter needs for Maine people experiencing poverty.
While the DSGP has historically supported a broad range of essential services, the scope of the program has been narrowed in 2026 to respond to an unprecedented level of need for food and shelter in Maine communities, as well as significant reductions in federal and state resources. The DSGP awards both program/project funding and general operating support.
General operating support grants are limited to those organizations whose sole mission is to serve Maine residents who are experiencing poverty. The John T. Gorman Foundation’s 2026 Direct Services Grant Program (DSGP) will open on Monday, June 1.
Applications will be accepted through 5:00 PM EST on Monday, June 22. Go here for more information. See Past Direct Services Grants Grantee & Applicant Login
