(Deadline: Dec. 31) The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, established by horror/mystery writer Stephen King, is a private non-profit organization that provides funding to support organizations that improve community life in Maine.
The foundation has a special interest in the underserved. Grants range from $500 to $50,000. Requests should not exceed $50,000.
The foundation provides a limited amount of funding for homeless programs. For example, the foundation gave $50,000 in 2004 to the Shaw House in Bangor, the city's only emergency shelter for homeless, runaway or street children.
Insider's Tip: Endowment grants are rare, as are matching or challenge grants. The foundation has a rather long list of activities it will not fund. Those it will not fund include: medical care, education or other direct support for individuals, scholarship foundations or programs, film or video productions, book or publishing projects, business development, investments or loans.
