Foundation Announces 75th Anniversary Matching Gift Scholarship Program

On June 9, 2009, the University of Maine Foundation celebrated its 75th anniversary with a dinner at the Wells Conference Center on the Orono campus. Over 250 guests attended the special event. At that dinner, which was held exactly 75 years from the Foundation's date of incorporation, Darryl Brown, chair of the University of Maine Foundation board, announced a matching gift program to encourage the establishment of new scholarship endowments for UMaine. The University's minimum level for a named, endowed scholarship fund is $20,000. The Foundation will match a gift of $15,000 (may be payable over three years) with $5,000 to establish a new named, endowed scholarship fund to provide support of for deserving students attending UMaine. The matching gift offer will be in effect until December 31, 2009.  For more information, contact the planned giving staff at the Foundation offices.
