Better Together, For Maine

ProsperityME’s 18th Annual Community Block Party

Opening Reception • Live Music • Panel Discussion • Awards Ceremony • Dinner

Better Together for Maine is more than this year’s theme—it is a shared vision for our state’s future.

For nearly two decades, ProsperityME has worked to create opportunities that strengthen not only the lives of new Mainers, but the economic vitality and well-being of all Maine communities. Through initiatives such as the Prosper Scholarship, Individual Development Account (IDA) Savings Program, housing navigation, workforce development, and financial education, ProsperityME helps individuals build stable, independent lives while addressing some of Maine’s greatest challenges, including workforce shortages, affordable housing, and access to higher education.

ProsperityME’s 18th Annual Community Block Party brings this vision to life by celebrating the partnerships that make this work possible.

Donors, sponsors, businesses, educators, community leaders, volunteers, and supporters come together to recognize what we have accomplished and to help shape the work ahead.

As Founder and Executive Director Claude Rwaganje often reminds us, investing in new Mainers is an investment in Maine’s future.

When we build opportunities together, strengthen communities together, and celebrate our shared successes together, we truly are Better Together for Maine.
