Due to CDC recommendations for social distancing, and for the health and safety of our staff, all Catholic Foundation of Maine personnel will be telecommuting until further notice, effective Tuesday, March 17th, 2020. We understand that our work is more important than ever during this time of uncertainty, and we want to assure you that we are still available to answer your questions via phone or email. We can also send informational and promotional materials to you by mail or email upon request. We will continue our work, continue to process and acknowledge all donations to the endowments, continue stewardship, and continue to complete distributions of annual payouts from our endowments, as well as continue to set up new endowments. In addition, we can conduct meetings virtually until we are able to gather again. Be assured of our prayers for health and safety at this time.
