Dorothy Schwartz Opportunity Fund ’06
[In 2006, the MHC created the Dorothy Schwartz Opportunity Fund to honor its retiring executive director, who had served the MHC for 25 years. This fund will help the MHC enrich and empower communities across Maine with new and strengthened humanities-based programs, focusing on disadvantaged regions and nontraditional audiences, ensuring that the MHC can respond rapidly to take the humanities to places one might not expect.]
