Since 1996, Frances Perkins Club members, through their generous investment in the Lincoln County Democratic Committee, have helped shape politics in the county where Perkins, FDR’s Secretary of Labor and the architect of the Social Security system, spent summers throughout her life.

Please help us continue Perkins’s legacy and the progressive momentum across Maine resulting from electing Democratic legislative majorities and administrations.

• $1,000+ each – Perkins Principals
• $500-$999 each – Perkins Legacy

The Frances Perkins Center, founded in 2009, is not affiliated with the Frances Perkins Club of the Lincoln County Democrats which was founded in 1996 as a way to recognize donors who make an investment in the Committee’s grassroots organizing efforts with an annual gift of $150 or more.
