We have been very fortunate to have garnered wide corporate, community and private support to help underwrite the costs of our new building. Our Board of Directors successfuly raised $150,00 of the total one million dollar cost of the project.  Major donors to our effort thus far are Damariscotta Bank and Trust, The First, Bath Savings, the King Eider’s Pub, Murder Mystery USA and the Reny Foundation.  In addition, scores of individuals have donated time, money and talent to the process. Coastal Kids is very grateful for this support. We could not have done it without you!
