Winds of Change Within the Consortium What is new?

Becoming a 501(c)(3) 501(c)(3) = tax exempt or a charitable organization MCC will not operate as a foundation, but grants may be awarded Structure established to support 501(c)(3) status and Cancer Plan Need to seek grant funding and grant writing support

What will remain unchanged?Consortium – Latin word - an association of two or more individuals, parties, organizations, etc (or any combination of these entities) with the objective of participating in a common activity or pooling their resources for achieving a common goal.

Why Change?

Growing beyond Maine Comprehensive Cancer Control Program and Maine CDC support

Allows the Consortium to seek different sources of funding Grants Accept donations

Next Steps Keep communications open!!

Not competing for funds Let us know what you’re doing and what support you need We’ll let you know what support we need

Seek support in grant writing

Transition work load from State to Consortium

Seek grant opportunities
