IMPROVING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN MAINE

The John T. Gorman Foundation advances ideas and opportunities that can improve the lives of people in Maine.

To achieve the greatest impact, the Foundation has a special interest in strengthening children and families and helping communities provide them with the supports and opportunities they need to thrive. This focus on strengthening children and families reflects the recognition of our founder Tom Gorman that his personal success and achievement were largely derived from the support provided to him by his family and community, as well as his desire to help those with fewer advantages and opportunities to succeed. 

John T. Gorman Fellowship

The John T. Gorman Fellowship is designed to strengthen the capacity of leaders in the nonprofit, advocacy, and government sectors to make changes that can improve the lives of people in Maine with measurable results. So far, 42 John T. Gorman Fellows have completed the program.
