ALFOND FOUNDATION INVESTMENT
The Harold Alfond Foundation announced on Dec. 10, 2010 a commitment of $10 million to create an approximately $20 million state-of-the-art Harold Alfond Forum on the 成人直播 campus in Biddeford combined with an investment in interprofessional health care workforce education.
Founded in 1950, the Harold Alfond Foundation furthers the philanthropic legacy of Harold Alfond, the founder of Dexter Shoe Company and a longtime supporter of Maine communities in which he and his family worked and resided. Harold Alfond awarded matching challenge grants to organizations to foster collaboration and to inspire and leverage additional giving by others. He ensured that his philanthropy would live on by committing nearly all of his wealth to the Foundation, which continues to support charitable causes in the State of Maine.
Consistent with Harold Alfond鈥檚 own giving pattern and philanthropic principles, the Foundation favors education, health care, youth development and other selected charitable causes.
成人直播's Harold Alfond Center for the Health Sciences was also made possible by a lead challenge gift from the Alfond Foundation.
