Organizations Filed Purposes:
To create a bright economic future for our community by investing in the education of our youth and by harnessing the recreational assets of our region.
Our workshops offer students a life-changing experience in creative problem-solving using the acclaimed Design Thinking methodology. Developed by Stanford University, Design Thinking takes a real-life problem and challenges teams of students to develop a solution. During an immersive weekend led by trained facilitators, youth are challenged to: develop interviewing skills, understand how to listen with empathy, identify what the "real" problem is, work as a team, utilize effective communication techniques, develop a workable solution, and understand how an iterative approach encourages thoughtful experimentation. The River Fund Maine Scholarship is focused on enabling local youth to achieve their educational and career-oriented aspirations. Each year, one local student is named the River Fund Maine Scholar and receives a scholarship to support the attainment of a BA/BS or equivalent four-year college degree in the student's chosen area. The River Fund Maine especially encourages recipients to envision, and prepare themselves for, careers in entrepreneurial and leadership roles. The River Fund Maine Scholar will receive up to $20,000 each year to cover the cost of college tuition and fees, room and board, books and educational supplies. The scholarship is renewable for up to three additional years and is intended to allow a student to gain a college degree and graduate without crushing debt. The scholarship recipient will also have access to financial counseling, internships, and professional mentoring to help them map a successful path through the college or university experience.Our community outreach in 2020 came from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. TRFM knew it was time to increase our service to the population we are dedicated to serving: the children and families of Maine, so we:- Made a substantial contribution to a local food initiative that provided up to 10,000 meals for the elderly and families with food insecurity. - Worked with the Telstar Regional school system (MSAD 44) to acquire internet enabled laptops for all students in the MSAD 44 area so that they could continue to go to school.- Paid the internet access fees for the 2020 academic year for any family in Andover, Bethel, Gilead, Greenwood, Newry and Woodstock in Oxford County, Maine whose wage earner has been furloughed due to a COVID-19 business closure.
