ELLSWORTH — The Belvedere Traditional Handcrafts Fund of the Maine Community Foundation seeks applications.
The fund supports projects and organizations that promote Maine traditional handcrafts. Only nonprofit and municipal organizations are eligible; MaineCF cannot make grants to individual artists.
New this year, because of the pandemic, the fund will offer general operating support grants only to organizations whose sole mission centers on Maine traditional handcrafts.
The maximum grant award is $10,000 for work that will begin Sept. 1 or later.
The grant application deadline is June 1. The online application, eligibility criteria, other guidelines, and a complete list of 2020 grants are available at mainecf.org.
The Belvedere Traditional Handcrafts Fund awarded $112,807 to 13 organizations in 2020.
Grant review and funding recommendations are made by people in Maine with expertise in traditional handcrafts. Funding announcements will be made in August.
