To improve Maine’s educational attainment rates, and to break the cycle of poverty, FAME administers a variety of programs, including Maine’s 529 college savings program and the Maine State Grant Program. FAME also offers extensive counseling and outreach throughout the state, and supports economic development by providing loan insurance and tax credits to Maine businesses.
