Libra Future Fund
The Libra Future Fund (LFF) is a nonprofit corporation. The organization was established in February 2005 through a grant from Libra Foundation. The Libra Future Fund was created to capitalize upon the energy and creativity that Maine’s young people embody and to combat youth out-migration by supporting initiatives that increase the number of Maine-based professional opportunities. In the spring of 2005, LFF launched its first initiative, a youth grant program. To that end, Libra Future Fund awards grants to individuals to promote economic development or create job opportunities in Maine. In addition, projects should provide the applicant with substantial professional or educational experience.
Use: Applicants seeking a Libra Future Fund Grant must be between the ages of 18 and 25 and reside in Maine at least 8 months per year. Applicants originally from Maine, but who are attending school out of state, are also eligible to apply. Grants typically range from $3,000-$5,000. The types of projects for which LFF awards grants are varied in nature and could range from research projects to business ventures. All projects must demonstrate that they have the potential to contribute to Maine’s long-term economic growth. A list of previous grant recipients is on the LFF website at http://www.librafoundation.org/LFF/grantees.htm.
