Suzanna was thrilled to partner with the Maine Community Foundation to facilitate a statewide needs assessment project completed in early 2024. Community engagement was central to the needs assessment process, and we gathered extensive input from diverse individuals and communities from all regions in the state through a grantee survey, focus groups, community conversations, and a public input survey.
“Through this broad and deep process, MaineCF heard perspectives from Maine people across the state that provide invaluable context on how the foundation can engage its resources – from grantmaking to donor and community partnerships, investments and advocacy – to make the biggest impact.” (Maine Ties, Spring 2024)
