About The Recompense Fund

The Recompense Fund is dedicated exclusively to Chebeague. It is a 501(c)3 philanthropic organization. Formerly called the The Recompense Foundation, it was founded in 1991. Since transitioning from a single donor foundation in 2013, the Recompense Fund has grown rapidly to over 500 donors who give generously of their resources and ideas. 

The Board of The Recompense Fund is delighted to announce we have become a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization with our own distinct tax identification number (84-4249483). We are continuing our affiliation with the MCF, and have elected to have them manage our permanent and board designated funds.  

All donations to Recompense should now be sent to our Chebeague Post Office Box 42, Chebeague Island, Maine, 04017. Please email our Treasurer, Jim Van Fleet, at jcvf48@gmail.com to discuss gifts of stock or any estate planning gift intentions.

For your records, please note that our federal tax i.d. is #84-4249483.
