In addition to financial support, she contributed her time as a volunteer and served as a trusted advisor and friend to many.
- Legacy : The Foundation honors Mrs. Sewall’s interests and lifetime of philanthropy by supporting a limited number of organizations with whom she had personal relationships and affinity and who continue to do the work that she funded in her lifetime. Through these Legacy grants, the Board of Director’s recognizes the significance of these organizations to Mrs. Sewall.
- Rapid Response: The Rapid Response Fund (RRF) is a grant opportunity that supports emergency and/or time-sensitive needs of organizations and communities whose work aligns with EBSF’s mission: to support work in Maine to improve the well-being of people, animals and the environment while fostering relationships that strive for social equity and community resilience.
