What Mount Desert 365 does
Mission
Mount Desert 365 (the corporation) engages in activities to preserve and increase the supply of affordable workforce housing for year-round residents of mount desert (the town) and promote economic revitalization of commercial areas adversely impacted by the loss of year- round residents. The corporation will increase the supply of affordable housing for sale to year-round residents, ensuring that it stays affordable in perpetuity and cannot be acquired by summer residents for seasonal use or vacation rentals. The corporation has acquired and will develop mixed- use residential/commercial properties for rental on affordable terms to residents and businesses on a year-round basis. This activity will increase the year-round population of people living and/or working in the village, address the need for affordable rental residential options, provide products and services to serve the year-round community and/or increase the consumerbase to support local businesses.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Community revitalization - Mount Desert 365 (the corporation) engages in activities to promote community revitalization that is guided by the town's comprehensive plan's top three goals. The overall goal is to have more people living and/or working in the town on a year-round basis. We take a multiprong approach toward that goal with focuses on housing, business and nonprofit support, and community engagement. In 2025, our major effort was on creating and maintaining year-round housing. We designed and started the construction and sitework for two homes that will be sold in 2026 to year-round residents in perpetuity. We also had another six home development achieve final approval from the local planning board after a two year appeal process, so now development work can begin. Throughout 2025, we maintained three apartments leased out to year-round residents at affordable rental rates. In support of local businesses, we leased three commercial spaces at affordable rates, provided technical support to local small businesses, and helped create reasons for people to come to the commercial district, creating foot traffic for local businesses. Many of those opportunities were developed…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $7.7M to $9.9M (+28%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 3% · 2022 11%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
3% of MOUNT DESERT 365’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $1.0M → $119k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $490k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Glenstone Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money MOUNT DESERT 365 raised.

MOUNT DESERT 365 leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
20% of MOUNT DESERT 365's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 44% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
MOUNT DESERT 365 draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Maine, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
