Maine Preservation works to promote and preserve historic places, buildings, downtowns and neighborhoods, strengthening the cultural and economic vitality of Maine communities. We hope you will join us in the opportunity to support historic preservation in Maine through 2024 Sponsorship opportunities for all three of our annual events with one donation.

Benefits will provide recognition at our three annual events. These programs are:

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

Old House Forum & Annual Meeting, May (Virtual): The Old House Forum program allows members and supporters to engage with preservation experts on current issues in the field. The 2024 topic will be announced in the spring.

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 3,600 subscribers, garnering an open rate far above industry standards at 40%. We also share these events on social media platforms. In the last year, our engagement on Facebook reached more than 80,000 accounts and nearly 55,000 accounts on Instagram, with a combined 9,019 followers. In 2022, our website has had more than 72,000 visits. Printed invitations were sent to more than 2,000 donors across the state.
