A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
The Common Good Grant provides over $10,000 to local non-profits that serve the greater Brunswick community. With the intent of maintaining current programs as well as funding new initiatives that serve local communities, the grant is made possible by an anonymous donor interested in providing students the opportunity to learn about the field of philanthropy while developing relationships with non-profit organizations. Over the last few years, the Common Good Grant Committee, a group of twenty-six Bowdoin students advised by the staff of the McKeen Center, have identified certain areas of need that they wish to emphasize in a given year. The most recent year, the committee made a commitment to fund at least one organization providing services in the following four areas: arts, history, and culture; health and basic needs; adult and youth education; and development, environment, agriculture, and sustainability. The committee also committed to funding at least one organization with Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) leadership. BIPOC-led organizations working anywhere in Maine could apply for Common Good Grant in 2022–2023. They can, but do not have to fit into any of the above four areas of emphasis.
