How Your Gift Helps

The annual operation of Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is sustained by three different sources – earned revenue which includes admissions, memberships, and earned income; the Annual Fund; and endowment income. The Gardens’ endowment, invested and managed by professional advisers, provides annual income for operations while preserving and increasing the endowment over time.  

The greater the endowment, the more resources the Gardens will have to support programs, staff, and to maintain our beautiful grounds. This means we can hire more horticulturists, educators, buildings and grounds crew, and ensure that the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens experience is the best it can be for all of our guests. Your gift will help the endowment flourish and provide support for generations to come.
