August 23, 2010  The JTG Foundation is currently seeking a Program Officer. For more information, please visit http://www.jobsinme.com/seek/resultdetail.aspx?jobnum=574528. The deadline to apply for this position is September 7, 2010.
 

July 12, 2010  At the Board of Directors’ meeting, the Board awarded 15 nonprofit organizations grants, some of which were multi-year grants, to be used for mental health services. $828,929.53 of these grant awards are to be paid in 2010. This completed JTG’s grantmaking for 2010. Please check the website often for new announcements regarding JTG’s 2011 grantmaking.
 
Additionally, the Board of Directors welcomed its newest Director, Richard W. Petersen, President and CEO of Maine Medical Center.
 

April 9, 2010  The period to submit Preliminary Proposals closed in the strategic concentration of providing services that benefit the mentally ill. The JTG Foundation Board received 26 Preliminary Proposals requesting $1,568,000 from the approximately $700,000 remaining to be distributed by the Board in 2010. The Board is in a review period now and will respond in writing to each non-profit that submitted a Preliminary Proposal no later than Friday, May 21, 2010. Please check back after that date for more specific information on the direction of JTG's future grantmaking.
 

January 5, 2010  At its January 5, 2010, meeting, the JTG Foundation Board of Directors adopted an interim, two-part grant making process starting with inviting Maine non-profits that serve the mentally ill to submit Preliminary Proposals. After reviewing Preliminary Proposals from these Maine non-profits, the Board of Directors will issue a limited number of invitations for full grant applications. We have restricted access to this interim process to Maine’s non-profits that serve those with mental illness due to the especially challenging times for these organizations. For more detailed information about the requirements of this interim process, including the deadline for submitting a Preliminary Proposal, please see the "What We Do" page.
 
We are not able to accept uninvited applications at this time.
 

May 26, 2009  At its May 26, 2009, meeting, the JTG Foundation Board of Directors decided to decline additional applications for 2009 and 2010 grants, while the Board develops a more strategic and cost effective approach to its grant making. During the development process, the Foundation will continue to provide support to Maine's children, disadvantaged families, the elderly, and those suffering from mental illness and cancer. The amount of the Foundation's 2009 grants will be at least equal to 2008, and the Foundation does not expect to reduce 2010 grants.
