Cigna Foundation has prioritized support for Maine’s LGBTQ+ youth through its recent grant to OUT Maine. The grant will provide resources to Gay/Straight/Trans Alliances in schools throughout the state, which are clubs that provide a range of support for LGBTQ+ youth—from critical safe spaces to gatherings where youth can collaborate on school climate-changing initiatives such as education for students and faculty.

KeyBank Foundation announced that it is donating $150,000 to help Move to Prosper’s (MTP) mission with providing single-woman families with housing opportunities around Columbus, OH. KeyBank previously supported MTP’s 10-family pilot program with a grant in 2018. The grant will impact 100 families with young children for the next three years, providing them housing in high opportunity neighborhoods.

Kiddie Academy announced plans to host STEM Adventures, a free community event promoting science, technology, engineering and math exploration through interactive activities, at more than 115 of their Educational Child Care locations nationwide. Participating Academies will focus on a "movement" theme, with activities like making flying paper airplanes, participating in a bouncing ball rodeo or making a ping pong ball launcher.

Old National Bancorp announced a $8.3 billion Community Growth Plan that builds on its long-standing commitment to support historically underserved and economically disadvantaged individuals, families and communities throughout its footprint, in collaboration with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. The Plan includes nearly $5 billion in community lending and affordable housing commitments to underserved and low-to-moderate income (LMI) borrowers and another $3.3 billion in community development initiatives and philanthropic programs in LMI and majority-minority neighborhoods over a five-year period.
