2021 Annual Report: Portside Foundation + 1 % for Maine®

PORTSIDE Foundation ® & 1% for Maine

PORTSIDE FOUNDATION We believe that if we care about our neighbors, the difference we make collectively will be sustainable and life changing for our fellow Mainers.

The Portside Foundation 501(c)(3) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Maine’s communities by supporting humanitarian, environmental and health-and-youth assistance programs. The Foundation organizes and hosts multiple fundraising events and awareness campaigns on behalf of local nonprofits throughout the year. These thoughtful events generate income through corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, auctions and direct donations. The proceeds from these events are used to support local nonprofits working to improve the lives of those in our communities.

Since the Foundation’s inception, we have raised enough capital to donate over $450,000 through our Portside Gives Back events, 1% for Maine® and donation drives for cancer causes, affordable housing, youth wellness and wildlife conservation programs in Maine.

1% for Maine® focuses on supporting the next generation of Mainers, Maine’s youth, helping to give them the greatest chance at creating a more wonderful world. Selling homes in the community affords us the privilege of giving back to the communities that we live and work in.

On a quarterly basis the Portside Foundation and participating Portside agents give 1% of top line revenue to local nonprofits supporting systemic Maine problems.

How it works: X Portside 1% for Maine® board members work in tandem with Maine Community Foundation to unanimously select grants X We chose nonprofits that align completely with our mission as 1% for Maine®.

X We ensure that our grants emphasize diversity and inclusivity and provide sustainable solutions to challenges facing Maine’s youth.

1% for maine ® FOCUS AREAS Generational Poverty + Affordable Housing. As of January 2020, on any given day 260 family households and 420 unaccompanied students experienced homelessness throughout Maine, an extremely challenging situation that has been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Education. Maine is home to 601 Public Schools and 106 Private Schools. In our public schools, almost 40% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and almost 20% are in a special education program. This means extra support and opportunities, both in and out of the classroom, are imperative to ensure we are giving Maines children the tools and skills they need to succeed!

Food Insecurity. 1 in 6 children in Maine are facing hunger and 43% of children in school rely on school meals every day. With schools being closed during the pandemic, the rate of childhood hunger has grown. Kids need access to consistent, nutritious meals to help them reach their full potential.

Medical and Mental Health. 1 in 4 children in Maine are diagnosed with a mental health disorder yet only 16% reported receiving mental health treatment in the past 12 months (as of 2017 survey). 1 in 12 babies are born drug affected in Maine. Eliminating barriers to treatment for children and their families is imperative to creating healthy families where children can thrive.
