Help raise $160K to launch the First Community Land Trust in the Kearsarge Region Today!

The shortage of affordable housing is affecting our rural communities and

this is our opportunity to address it.

Working together we can increase housing opportunities in our

region while maintaining our rural character.

It all starts with the purchase of Foster Farm

but time is running out!

Before KCLT

AFTER KCLT

KCLT brought community together to restore the 250 year old Foster Farmhouse

providing low cost housing for 5 young residents.

Decide your Community’s FuturE

Together, we can create a model for community-led land stewardship, affordable housing, and ecological conservation in the Kearsarge region.

What Sort of Development do we want to Foster?

KCLT has been given the generous opportunity of a 4 for 1 bargain sale. If KCLT raises 25% of the appraised value of the Farm, the current owner will donate the remaining 75% of the value of the property to the organization. But we only have a limited time. We need your help to reach $160K by the end of 2025 to start meeting the housing challenges of our region! We need your financial support today to make this possible!

  • Preserve our working forests & farms for generations to come

  • Maintain & manage Stable & Affordable housing for the community

  • Protect & revive Our rural Character

  • Foster An empowered, Inclusive & Resilient community

  • Ensure a Cultural Easement for our Abenaki community

By donating to the KCLT 160K Campaign you will:
