Program areas at MeHAF
Nova fund: in january 2023, mehaf received an unsolicited gift of just over $9 million given by philanthropist mackenzie scott. Mehaf's board approved spending of the funds within 3 - 5 years of receipt. The proceeds of the gift have been named the nova fund. In march 2023, a rapid planning process with the board, community advisory committee, and staff yielded a high-level plan for allocation of the funds to the following categories: Health justice movement building; Health care workforce; fiscal support strategies for small health-focused nonprofits; crisis response; increased funding for current/recent priorities; big ideas. During 2023, beyond grants made to current/recent priorities that are reflected elsewhere in this tax return, a multi-day planning retreat was held to begin planning for Health justice movement building.
Health equity capacity building: staff, consultant, and evaluator support to implement the Health equity capacity building program, which focuses on community-led organizations led by and addressing the Health and Health care needs of populations that experience inequitable burdens and disparities. Includes grantee-determined technical assistance and support to complement grant funds.
Responsive grants programs - community responsive grants and systems improvement and innovation grants: staff and consultant expenses to support two open competitive grants programs that seek to center community-identified Health and Health care Access needs and community-led solutions. Support includes technical assistance and program evaluation.
All revenue is used to promote affordable and quality healthcare for Maine people.
