Demont & Associates

The Demont Difference

Demont & Associates, Inc. strives to make a lasting difference through philanthropy in our own communities and in the communities we serve. Our associates have served hundreds of not-for-profit organizations throughout the United States and now choose to serve not-for-profits primarily in the Northeast.

Demont actively demonstrates its commitment to philanthropy and is a proponent and participant of “Give Five,” and contributes a minimum of 10 percent of its profits and encourages associates to give a minimum of 10 percent of their time to charitable organizations. List of charitable recipients in 2008. Demont associates (full- and part-time) leverage their charitable support by participating in the company’s matching gift program, established using CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education) guidelines. Demont matches gifts of cash or securities, and/or a minimum number of volunteer hours given by an associate. In 2008, associates gave their personal time and/or income to more than 75 not-for-profit organizations.

National Philanthropy Day

Since 1995 Demont has sponsored the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Northern New England Chapter’s National Philanthropy Day Awards. The awards publicly recognize individuals, families, corporations, or foundations who have made significant contributions of time, talent, or treasure to New England not-for-profit organizations and in turn made a difference in lives and communities.

Demont & Associates is proud to announce the AFP-NNE Demont Scholarship Award for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy, new for 2009.

Demont & Associates Partners with AFP-NNE to Offer $10,000 College Scholarship Award for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy.

Demont Difference Fund

The Demont Difference Fund was established in 1999 by Demont & Associates, Inc. The Fund endorses creative efforts by not-for-profit organizations in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont seeking to increase their long-term capacity to raise private support and/or broaden their volunteer base.

The Fund annually awards matching grants to smaller organizations not considered capable of mounting a $1 million fund-raising effort in the near term. Preference is given to funding projects which leverage maximum fund-raising potential, develop long-term development goals, and further philanthropic opportunities.

It limits its grants to charitable organizations, activities, operations or purposes that take place within the state of New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine or benefit those states’ residents.
