School Funding
MFES is designed to be economically sustainable.  While initial start up funding will come from a mix of public and private sources, the long-term goal of MFES is to be financially viable without external funding.

MFES seeks to continue the effort of organizations like Maine Community Foundation that have helped pioneer the approach of linking varied philanthropic capacity with a more systemic approach, ensuring that overall giving is distributed, administered, accounted for, and evaluated in a way that makes the most impact.
