Maine Initiatives is a community based collaborative of individuals dedicated to improving equity and justice in Maine. One of the core benefits to Maine Initiatives is their ability to collect and shift money to social service organizations and reform movements that best improve the lives of all residents. Additionally, the organization works to connect community members and stakeholders around shared values like racial, social and economic equity. Staff within the organization pursue state and federal grants to fund grassroots movements centered on criminal justice reform, rehabilitation efforts, community justice initiatives, reintegration support programs and more. By mobilizing organizations and individuals across the state, staff and volunteers with Maine Initiatives hope to be a catalyst for measurable, permanent change in the community. Together, they believe that the citizens of Maine can achieve a more just and equitable society.
