COA's Capital Campaign


In four decades of innovative thinking, hard work, and fiscal discipline, College of the Atlantic has evolved from an experimental college on the coast of Maine to an internationally recognized model of higher education.

We invite you to join us as we shape the future of COA's academic program, our island campus, and our unique educational community. COA's Capital Campaign Case Statement is an invitation and an opportunity to join us — to invest in an institution and in students committed to, and capable of, creating a future that is just and sustainable.
