Children’s foundation seeking grant requests
Senter Fund Committee looking for applications
BRUNSWICK — The Alfred M. Senter Fund is a private charitable trust authorized to make grants to any public charity that provides a service in the state and meets the requirements of the trust documents. The Fund Committee is now soliciting requests for grants with a requirement that applications be submitted by mail with an original and five copies and that they be received no later than Oct. 31 for the current calendar year.
The fund was established by Alfred Senter and it was his wish that public charities benefiting be involved in promoting the cultural, educational, environmental and general health and welfare of the inhabitants of the towns of Brunswick, Durham, Lisbon, Harpswell, Topsham, West Bath and the city of Bath.
The fund especially seeks to support charities for which small grants will make a significant difference. The fund does not normally award grants supporting annual operating budgets or to add to the endowment of other nonprofit organizations.
Alfred Senter was the owner of the former Senter’s Department Store and the Greenery Restaurant on Maine Street. The property today is Senter Place, which is occupied by a variety of businesses offering services to the public. The net income from Senter Place contributes to the funds in the Alfred M. Senter Fund from which the annual grants are made.
Application forms may be obtained by contacting Senter Place Management Office by telephone at 207-725-6610, facsimile at 207-725-6612, e-mail at senterplace@gmail.com or by visiting www.senterplace.com.
