Grants and Beneficiaries

Since it’s inception 20 years ago, MCC performs an annual concert to raise awareness of and funds for a nonprofit organization that addresses an important need in our local area. In 2026, Midcoast Community Chorus is again planning to give concerts in both January and June, where we will announce and provide a grant to benefit a Midcoast nonprofit organization. The grant will be in the amount of $5,000.00.
