The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies (CES) teaches young people ages 10 to 24 to start and run real businesses, at no cost to their families. Changemakers run a real store at 156 Main Street in Farmington, build products in our makerspace, and learn business by doing it.

This Giving Tuesday, December 1, we're filling a field. Our map of the six-acre campus on Whittier Road starts empty, and every gift puts something on it:

$25 a month makes you a Changemaker Champion. A piece goes on the field with your name on it.
Any one-time gift plants a wildflower.
Businesses from anywhere in Maine can claim a storefront with a gift of $250, $500, $1,000 or more. Your name and logo go on it.

Our goal is 50 Champions and 20 storefronts. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram as the field fills up on December 1.

The map is how we count. Every dollar keeps CES programs free: materials, mentors, workshops, and a real store to sell in.

CES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 83-2097051. Gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Fill the Field: Giving Tuesday 2026

Help keep CES free for every kid. Every gift adds a piece to our Whittier Road campus map.
