$500 for your baby's future!

Alfond image

The Harold Alfond College Challenge
is a new program that will provide a $500 grant to every Maine baby to start saving for college. This $500 grant is for all Maine babies born on or after January 1, 2009. There is no income limit or additional contributions required.

Like the Libra Foundation (the foundation which funds raising readers), the Harold Alfond Foundation believes in investing in Maine's youngest citizens to ensure that they achieve both academic success and happy, productive futures.
