Maine Candidates on Nonprofits

MANP encourages nonprofits to participate appropriately, legally, and fully in our democracy. We're here to help nonprofits learn how to engage voters, and we ask candidates for publicly elected office to share their experiences with and ideas for the nonprofit sector.

Charitable and educational nonprofits must remain nonpartisan and not take sides for a candidate or party. However, nonpartisanship does not mean nonparticipation!

Candidate Questionnaire

All candidates for office in Maine are invited to complete the following questionnaire by September 30th. We will post responses after September 30th and begin promoting to our community shortly thereafter. Answers received after the deadline may be be posted, but only on a weekly basis, and may therefore reach fewer readers.

MANP does not endorse candidates or promote or endorse any political party. MANP’s goal is to educate candidates by making them aware of the impact and potential of the nonprofit sector, and to educate voters by soliciting information directly from candidates on how they would partner with the sector if elected.
