FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — Maine’s L.L. Bean is distributing $1.5 million in community grants that were approved by the board for distribution before the company’s fiscal year ends next month.

The catalog retailer says gifts ranging from $500 to $25,000 are being dispersed to more than 200 nonprofit organizations. That’s above and beyond a $2.5 million donation to get kids interested in the outdoors and another $1 million given to the National Parks Foundation this year.
