Community projects help to move ideas into action. Our Katahdin is committed to being a platform of action that promotes the projects of local leaders and connects them with a broader community who loves the region and wants to support positive action.
Together, we can be successful in building optimism and delivering results through small wins across the tri-town area. Please review the projects below and consider how you can contribute your ideas, money, and time.
Our Katahdin has a regional focus, with equal interest in projects in all three towns — and specific interest in regional projects. 100% of project donations go directly to those specific projects, with the exception of small PayPal fees that protect your financial transaction.
Let’s work together to put IDEAS INTO ACTION!
