Current Project:
Ripples Hill Neighborhood
Phase 3

To help bring Ripples 3 to life, an anonymous donor has pledged $350,000 in a 1:1 matching challenge, meaning every dollar donated will be doubled! Your support will directly contribute to making these homes a reality—ensuring that more families and workers can continue to call MDI home.

This is a time-sensitive opportunity to maximize your impact. By giving today, you help us secure the full match and move one step closer to breaking ground on Ripples 3.

Donate now to take advantage of the match and help us build a stronger future for MDI!

From providing employees for island businesses to keeping our schools vibrant and our organizations thriving with volunteers, housing is at the heart of Mount Desert Island’s communities.

By giving to Island Housing Trust, you’re directly creating more year-round housing opportunities. Your support helps working families stay on MDI, ensuring our businesses, schools, and nonprofits continue to flourish.

Every donation makes a meaningful difference. Please consider making a generous gift today!.

Our Impact

A few words from a Homeowner

“Without Island Housing Trust, we may have had to re-locate and move our family off Mount Desert Island. With our families close by, we want to raise our children here. Our children benefit from the excellent school system. Each of us have a short commute to work on the Island. Island Housing Trust has helped us keep our mortgage affordable.”
