Contributed • July 27, 2021

Central Maine Power is proud to invest in building — and rebuilding — community and nonprofit facilities that support local arts, veterans, STEM education and economic development. Over the past 12 months, CMP has invested over $450,000 to help local nonprofits invest in projects and upgrades to infrastructure and facilities. CMP makes these contributions with the company’s shareholder funds. In addition, the Avangrid Foundation is also active in Maine, having awarded $2.6 million in grants to Maine nonprofits since 2015.

Among the donations from the past year is $25,000 for the lighting of a new boardwalk as part of the Moosehead Lake Region Economic Development Corporation’s downtown revitalization in Greenville.

“CMP has been a part of Maine’s history for more than a century,” said Scott Mahoney, CMP interim president. “Investing in and giving back to the communities in which we live and work is woven into the fabric of who we are as a company.”

“Support from local businesses is the backbone of our organization,” said Travis Mills, founder of the Travis Mills Foundation. “Companies like CMP help us push our organization forward.”
