PHOTOFran Hutchinson, who served as Treasurer of the former Maine Women's Fund.

The Maine Women’s Fund invested with Genesis for over 25 years—a natural fit with our mission to make bold investments that transform the lives of Maine women and girls.

There is a multiplier effect that you simply do not get with traditional investment options.

In addition to earning a competitive return that we distribute to our grantees, our investment principal supports affordable housing and other community facilities.

These in turn support single parents, children, low-income working families, the elderly, homeless and people with disabilities.
