Why Give?

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens has quickly grown into one of the largest and most significant botanical gardens in the United States.

The Gardens’ endowment, invested and managed by professional advisers, provides annual income for operations while preserving and increasing the endowment over time.  

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is grateful for the support provided by donors who have made planned gifts to our Institution. Through their generosity, these individuals have demonstrated their commitment to the future of the Gardens through gifts that have created meaningful legacies. Here are some of their stories.

Once you inform us of your intention either to include Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in your estate plans or you make an outright gift of cash or securities to our endowment, you join other loyal and generous individuals as a member of our Perennial Society.
