The Recompense Fund has a lot going on!! Most importantly, we invite all who love Chebeague to attend our annual grant recognition gathering, which will be August 5 at the Chebeague Island Recreation Center, at 5 p.m. At this annual gathering Recompense celebrates all the island nonprofits, and we hear from the organizations about what the donations are fueling. Please join us for desserts and lemonade at this event. This month, highlighting one of Chebeague’s nonprofits, we turn to The Chebeague Island Historical Society. In 2023, Recompense awarded $7,000 to the historical society to help build a table that showcases the historical evolution of Chebeague. Pictured is CIHS President Beth McNulty by the table - and it must be noted, Doug Damon put in a crazy number of hours wiring this. It’s a must-see. For 2024, Recompense has granted $10,609 to the historical society to help hire an administrative coordinator - Beth Weiss - as the organization transitions from Donna Damon’s

formative leadership, upon her retirement. As always, Recompense welcomes community donations to help support the island’s vibrant nonprofits. It’s easy to donate! Visit https://www.recompensefund.com/ to learn how.
