The Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust is pleased to announce it has been awarded two grants from two Maine-based foundations. The organization received $20,000 from Momentum Conservation for general operations. Momentum was founded in 2012 as a service center to assist conservation organizations in Maine with hands on assistance specific to organizational needs. Their theory of change is rooted in the idea that solutions forged together and in partnership are more lasting and effective, and they also serve to build connections within the conservation sector, and between conservation and broader community issues. The John Sage Foundation has a history of making grants to promote and enhance a harmonious relationship between people and the natural environment. Their funding of $5,000 will go towards the #WEOUTSIDE program.

Thank you to these wonderful organizations for their support!
