Annual Appeal

Our fall appeal is underway. We are honored that some of you have chosen to give already – thank you. But, we still need your help to sustain ASC learning opportunities. Membership fees and course tuition go a long way to support the college, but we still rely on contributions for about 1/3 of our annual budget.

You can donate online or if you wish to donate by check, please mail it to

ASC, PO Box 475, Southwest Harbor, ME 04679. Would you consider becoming a monthly donor? This is a convenient way to donate a little at a time throughout the year. Also, remember you can make a donation to honor or memorialize a special person at any time.

We truly count on your support!
