The CM Education Foundation is a community-based non-profit corporation that has as its sole mission “support for Central Maine Community College and its students.” Governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of community and business leaders, the Foundation has raised and contributed almost one million dollars to the college for scholarships, program improvements and capital projects. In addition to an annual fund campaign, the Foundation holds an annual dinner and co-hosts the annual Scholarship Scramble with the Androscoggin Chamber of Commerce.
