The Maine Spirit Fund was established at the University of Maine Foundation in 2007 to provide stable, long-term financial support for student groups at the University of Maine. As the university's goodwill ambassadors, student organizations such as the UMaine cheerleaders and the University Singers bring entertainment and spirit to events. Groups like the team of students who won first place in the national Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Student Association's 2006 Product Development Competition bring positive attention to the university through state, regional, national and even international events. Income from this fund will support student groups and organizations in such endeavors.
