PORTLAND — The Maine Community Foundation’s Maine Theater Fund is accepting grant applications from local, regional and statewide nonprofit theaters or theater groups in Maine.
An anonymous couple, who recognized the connection between vibrant communities and support for the arts, established the Maine Theater Fund in 2005. Funds will be awarded for programmatic, capacity-building, operating and capital support. Awards typically are between $2,500 and $5,000, although larger awards may be considered.
The deadline for grant applications is Sept. 15.
