The Genesis Fund
Our mission is to help Maine nonprofit groups working to create affordable
housing and other economic and social opportunities in their communities by
offering innovative financing, expert assistance, and help in leveraging
other sources of funding.
Genesis receives $329,590 CDFI award
The $329,590 CDFI Program award increases the Genesis Fund's permanent pool
of funds to lend to $1.23 million and brings the entire pool of funds to
$5.89 million. The award will allow the Genesis Fund to lend more money for
longer terms to affordable housing and community facility projects.
It will also support outreach and staff training to increase overall lending
activity. Over the long term, the CDFI Program award will help to ensure
that the Genesis Fund is able to continue fulfilling its mission, through
loans and technical assistance to increase the availability of safe, secure, and
affordable housing and vital social services for low-income individuals and
families through out Maine.
For more information about how you, your business, church or foundation can
put your money to work for good across Maine, please contact Jane Irish at
207.563.6073 or _jane at genesisfund.org_ (mailto:jane at genesisfund.org) .

The Gift that Supports the Work of Nonprofits across Maine
a donation to the Genesis Fund's permanent lending pool honors your friends
and family over and over
Since 1992 those who support the Genesis Community Loan Fund have understood
the extraordinary work that a revolving loan fund can do. By making
flexible, low-interest loans rather than outright grants to Maine's nonprofit
organizations, the Genesis Fund can use the same pool of funds over and over
again.
Many supporters make short- or long-term investments in our revolving pool
of capital, others donate to our annual appeal to help us keep the lights on
and to help fund the technical assistance our staff offers to nonprofits in
addition to the loan check - often at low- or no-cost.
The Genesis Fund now offers an additional way to support our work: A
donation to our permanent pool of revolving capital in honor of a friend or family
member. In June 2007 the board of directors named our permanent pool of
capital, which stands at $1.23 million of the total $5.89 million in the lending
pool, the Elizabeth McPherson Permanent Capital Fund, in honor of Beth
McPherson who retired after serving as Executive Director for 14 years.
With a $50 gift to the permanent loan pool, we will send your honored friend
or family member a beautiful fine arts card to mark your gift and explain
the work of the Genesis Fund. The card, adorned with an assemblage collage
image titled "Happy Village," by Damariscotta artist Debra Arter is also
available as a larger print with a portion of the proceeds going to the Genesis
Fund annual appeal.
To make your gift right now, please visit our website at
_www.genesisfund.org/holidaygiving.htm_

IRThBMTDoNAinuAy09yNpggSHMbvBLg=) . Your gift to our permanent revolving
loan pool will allow your loved one to look at housing and community
development projects across Maine in the years to come and say, "My gift is working
there, and there, and there."
Thanks for your continued support.
Genesis helps Build Healthier Communities Throughout Maine
Genesis Fund Loans Help a Rural Health Care Center in Western Maine and a
Mid-Coast Maine Food Cooperative supporting Local Farmers
(http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rvI6r4PTrA0KwgoCBUwekzg3YQJd61tuqBwR2v2swYCHPnnoya2bSpM4JFD_rMH16qR3QSCzUOUaChnAjdybQGMMi3FLtURVWrsHSYLwIv3ZpB-PgaIB5g==)
Sacopee Valley Health Center in Porter provides comprehensive health care in
a rural, medically underserved area in western Maine with a population of
over 20,350. Located 26 miles from the nearest community hospital; it is the
only multi-service agency providing medical and social services in the area.
Overcrowded conditions make patient care difficult. This loan will allow
the health clinic to purchase two adjacent lots for expansion, creating 5
additional patient care rooms, exterior handicapped access and a new handicapped
bathroom. "Now, we will be able to add enhanced services for our patients,"
says Kate Albert of Sacopee Valley Health. Additionally, the existing
facilities will undergo a much needed refurbishment.
Rising Tide Community Market in Damariscotta is a not for profit natural
foods cooperative that is a vital community institution. Over the past 9 years,
sales and membership have been steadily increasing with over 1800
owner-members from both year round and summer residents.
Supporting local farmers and producers, Rising Tide purchases nearly 30% of
all its goods from Maine businesses. It's business practices support the
local economy in other ways too - by providing health insurance to all
employees who work 20 or more hours a week.
This loan will help them purchase and renovate a larger building across the
street. It will also help the cooperative purchase additional inventory and
equipment. Their commitment to providing local, natural and organic food to
the Mid-Coast community and supporting the local economy will continue to
grow.
