Our Story

Founded in 1977 by civil rights activist Ron Phillips, Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (CEI) began as a community development corporation in Maine, dedicated to creating income, employment, and ownership opportunities for those marginalized in the economic landscape. Over the years, CEI has expanded its mission to support various sectors, including aquaculture, agriculture, and child care, while advocating for policies that uplift low-income communities.

Impact

During the COVID-19 pandemic, CEI administered direct relief programs, providing $19.5 million to farmers and food producers and $20 million for the Agricultural Infrastructure Investment Program. These efforts have empowered thousands of small businesses to adapt and thrive, showcasing CEI's unwavering commitment to Maine's economy and communities.
