Discretionary Grants Program - Maine Health Access Foundation Discretionary Grants Program How to Apply for a Discretionary Grant The first step to approaching us about a project is to complete a Letter of Interest (LOI) that will be submitted electronically through our grants management system that can be accessed by clicking the "Manage Your Grant" link on the left sidebar of this page.
If you do not have an account, you may set one up, or reach out to Grants Manager Holly Irish for assistance. Grants for projects that highly align with our mission may be awarded up to $10,000.
The initial LOI will be submitted online, and once an LOI is submitted and reviewed, applicants will receive an email either declining the proposal or requesting to set up a short, structured conversation with the Discretionary Grants program lead. If then moved through the discussion phase, applicants will be asked to complete a final application. Please note an organization can receive only one Discretionary Grant per calendar year.
