The Klingenstein Philanthropies is excited to announce the Patricia D. Klingenstein Grants Program.
Donor Name: Klingenstein Philanthropies
State: Maine
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/30/2026
Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000
Grant Duration: 1 Year
Details:
The program supports organizations that promote the health of Maine children (birth to 18 years-old), which includes their physical, mental, and social health and well-being.
Funding Information
- The program awards grants from $5,000 – $25,000.
- The Foundation strongly prefers to fund organizations with an annual budget of less than $5,000,000
Grant Period
Proposals are for a 12-month project period.
Eligibility Criteria
- Almost all forms of grants will be considered (e.g., general operating support, program grants, capacity building grants, challenge grants, matching grants). However, as a rule, the Foundation would not expect to make capital grants (e.g., funding for building), or grants to individuals.
- Successful applicants typically have strong track records and take approaches that are creative but well grounded (e.g., in data, theory, best practices, evaluation methods).
- In general, the Foundation looks for proposals that address Maine’s most underserved populations, especially those from low-income families and under-resourced communities, or other minoritized populations that may have limited supports and resources. This includes children that come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and those that live in poverty.
- The Foundation will not accept oral health proposals. However, if you see oral health needs that your organization could help address within your broader children’s health work, please connect with the Children’s Oral Health Network of Maine.
