Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

The Foundation aims to provide scholarships and support to graduates of Maine public high schools attending Maine colleges. The Foundation's vision is to support the completion of post-secondary education of Maine students by partnering with like-minded organizations with similar goals.

The Foundation's staff provides mentoring services for Worthington Scholars. Staff provide information on applying for the Worthington Scholarship to public high school superintendents, principals, and guidance staff. Staff works with participating colleges- any part of the University Maine system, including the community colleges, Maine Maritime Academy, Colby, Bates, Bowdoin, Thomas, and Husson- to identify potential scholars, to coordinate services for the Worthington Scholars. Staff organizes event on the campuses for the students. The Foundation organizes various other community events throughout the year such as career choices, job interview skills, leadership building.

The Foundation has funding from its founder, David W. Worthington, and a very accomplished staff.

The Foundation incorporated in April, 2017, and opened an office in the fall of 2017. It now has 3 full-time staff members to provide program services. It outsources accounting and scholarship payment services.
The Foundation expects to dramatically increase its programming and scholarship services beginning in 2019.
