PORTLAND, Maine — MaineHealth’s Center for Health Improvement recently announced a $1.6 million donation from Maine entrepreneur and impact activist David Evans Shaw to launch the Shaw Challenge, a comprehensive four-year initiative designed to transform how Maine communities address the youth mental health crisis.

As part of a larger effort to support youth mental health, Shaw provided additional funding to the Hearts of Pine Foundation to expand after-school wellness programming, as well as support to the University of New England for its Shaw Innovation Fellows Program that will create new pathways for student innovators to contribute solutions to the youth mental health crisis.
