The SIA Mission

The Southport Island Association is a 501c3 organization that exists to enhance and enrich the quality of life for those on Southport Island. Through community engagement and charitable giving, SIA is able to foster a robust sense of togetherness and provide a means of support to any member of our community who should need it. 

We contribute to vital community assets such as Southport Central School, the Food Pantry, New Hope for Women MidCoast, The Community Center, Rebuilding Together, Life Flight, the Ambulance Fund and more.

We offer educational grants to elevate the experience of learners of all ages. These grants exist to support extracurricular activities and experiences that promote well rounded, open minded, lifelong learning. 

We also offer Helping Hands assistance to bridge the gap for Southport residents experiencing extraordinary financial hardships related, but not limited, to job loss, medical bills, family disruption, or unexpected calamity that negatively impacts economic stability.These requests are handled with the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality so that our community members know that they can get the help they need without fear of judgment or exposure. 

All this while also putting together a yearly calendar full of fun, community forward events for all to enjoy! 

SIA has been around since 1948 and has developed immensely through the years as a result of superb leadership, community support and desire to serve. As we continue to evolve and adapt, our focus remains on fostering a strong sense of togetherness, creating opportunities for collaboration, and enhancing the quality of life for everyone on Southport Island.

Join us on this remarkable journey and be a part of an organization that truly cares.
