Maine Health Access Foundation

MeHAF's Mission and Values

The Maine Health Access Foundation's mission is to promote access to quality health care, especially for those who are uninsured and underserved, and improve the health of everyone in Maine.  We use our human and financial resources to ensure that all people have access to high quality, affordable health care to achieve or preserve better health. 

As a statewide organization, MeHAF serves all Maine people, yet our programs are especially directed toward the most vulnerable - those facing disproportionate barriers accessing health care services and achieving optimal health.    

Each year MeHAF provides approximately $4 million in grant and program funding to support activities aligned with our mission. Since 2002, we have awarded more than $40 million in grants and program support to more than 250 organizations across Maine.

As an independent and visionary leader in health philanthropy, we are committed to advancing these guiding values as we work with our nonprofit partners and key leaders in the public and private sector to

• act as a catalyst for change;
• promote innovation and vision;
• foster community-based collaboration and partnerships;
• serve as an informed convener and educator;
• exercise responsible stewardship.
