Covid-19 struck... and the SRA struck back!
The Summer Residents Association of the Town of Mount Desert (SRA) recognizes the threat Covid-19 poses to the retail, restaurant, and tourism-driven businesses that are the backbone of our community. Based on the feedback we gathered through a survey we recently conducted in partnership with the Mount Desert Chamber of Commerce and Town of MDI, many of those local businesses are feeling this unfortunate pressure. With your support, the SRA is trying to do our part to help out.
Our goal is to raise
as much as we can
and distribute
100%
to the
local businesses we love and appreciate
in the form of
grants.
Over 60 businesses have applied for support.
Your gift will help sustain our local business community
Total Raised as of May 28, 2020: $806,755
Thank you for your readiness to support the local business owners who do so much to enrich our summers.
Don't be daunted by our giving categories - ambitious goals require ambitious giving!
Every gift, regardless of size, increases the amount of support we can provide.

The generosity of all donors will be tastefully recognized on a sign board
displayed at the center of Main Street in Northeast Harbor.
Fine print: Because we are a 501(c)4 organization, your gift is not tax deductible. However, the IRS may make an exception due to the Covid-19 crisis, so we will continue to monitor and advise should that occur.
We plan to post the names of all donors to recognize their generosity. If you prefer your donation to be anonymous, you can check the "anonymous" box when making your donation online or let us know by email if you are donating by check or wire. The donor list will be updated nightly.

The Mission of the SRA is to provide an effective means of communication between the summer residents and the Town Leadership on issues that concern the current and future well-being of the Town. The Board of Directors of the Corporation seeks to represent the views of the summer residents and to keep them informed of, and involved in, the Town planning process on current and future issues.
Further, the SRA seeks to be the timely and constructive voice of the summer residents with the Town government, working closely with the Town leaders to preserve and protect the unique character, culture, environment, and quality of life of the town, through both a voice and financial contributions to further the mission of the Summer Residents Association.
For more information, please contact anyone on our Board of Directors or reach Board Member John Boynton at JB@123neh.com
