Planned Giving

A Planned Gift is a meaningful way to make a lasting difference. Your gift to Maine Preservation will allow future generations to enjoy the historic places that make Maine unique. 

Benefits of a Planned Gift

It's easy! With a detailed will you can protect your family and support Maine Preservation. The benefits of planned giving are many:

  • Gain charitable deductions now - even for future gifts

  • Reduce or avoid capital gains tax

  • Save on gift and estate taxes

  • Reduce estate taxes for heirs

  • Increase your existing income for life, or a specific term, with an annuity or similar charitable option

Make Maine Preservation part of your estate planning by designating a specific gift or percentage of your estate. You can also donate a vehicle, insurance policy, stock, mutual find, bond, cash, or art. 

Donations of Historic Properties

Maine Preservation is honored to accept the donation of your historic home or commercial property. We'll find a new preservation-minded owner through our Protect & Sell Program and ensure the preservation, in perpetuity, of your special place with a preservation easement.
