Maine Preservation works to promote and preserve historic places, buildings, downtowns and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities.

Sponsorship contributes to the technical assistance we provide to property owners across the state, as well as our ardent advocacy for sound preservation policies on the state and federal level.  

We invite you to support historic preservation in Maine by participating in our 2026 Sponsorship Program. With a single contribution, you’ll enjoy sponsorship benefits and recognition at all three of our annual events:

Honor Awards (March): Our annual awards celebrate the transformative rehabilitation of historic buildings and the people that make those projects possible.

Old Building Forum (Virtual): This quarterly program allows members, supporters, and organizations the opportunity to engage with preservation experts on current issues in the field.

Annual Gala (September): This evening of friends, supporters, and partners will feature live music, plentiful food and drink, excellent company, and great fun!

Our events are promoted through e-blasts to our base of more than 4,000 subscribers, garnering an open rate far above industry standards at 40%. We also share these events on social media platforms. In the past 6 months alone, our engagement reached approximately 257,000 combined users with 10,700 followers. Zooming out to the full year, we're on track to reach over a half-million users on Meta social channels, an increase of approximately 100,000 over the past year. In 2024, our website has had more than 42,000 visits. Printed invitations were sent to more than 2,000 donors across the state.
