Support the Work That Strengthens Maine
Every day, the Catherine Cutler Institute works to address Maine’s most pressing challenges, including strengthening the child welfare system, supporting early childhood educators, improving public health and behavioral health outcomes, advancing justice policy, and helping communities build environmental resilience, among other initiatives.
While our grants and contracts fund important project work, philanthropic support allows us to do even more. Gifts to the Institute enable us to collaborate across disciplines, innovate, invest in professional development, and respond promptly to new or urgent needs that emerge in Maine’s communities and beyond.
Your gift helps us:
• Build and sustain a strong, skilled workforce
• Develop community-informed tools and resources
• Conduct research that guides policy and practice
• Support children, families, and practitioners statewide
• Strengthen connections across systems and sectors
Together, we can expand the reach and impact of this work.
