Welcome! The Great Cranberry Futures Group is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to support year-round and seasonal residents of Great Cranberry Island, Maine. The island is located off the coast of Mt Desert Island, home of beautiful Acadia National Park.
Our primary services include operating the island’s gas pump and maintaining a free gym facility and medical storeroom for the benefit of residents. In addition, this website serves as an informational hub for locals and visitors to Great Cranberry, with an overview of island organizations, practical information on transportation and other critical services, links to the Town of Cranberry Isles municipal website, and a public Community Calendar.
THANK YOU!
From all of us at The Great Cranberry Futures Group, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to our fundraising campaign to replace the gas pump on the island. Over 70 households donated to the effort, and we are thrilled to report that we have reached our goal and the replacement project is underway!
We will post an update when we have a confirmed completion date. Some preliminary work has already been done, and we expect to have a new, working pump within weeks.
In the meantime, payments for gas can still be made by cash or check and the pump is available during posted hours.
For more on this project, please see our
2025 Appeal Letter.
