Charitable gift annuities are appealing to many for their immediate benefits. Donors have an opportunity to make an impact on their community by making a gift to a charity while receiving immediate tax advantages. In addition, donors receive a guaranteed income stream for life, and the return is generally much higher than interest rates on CDs or bonds. Thus, the actual cost of a gift is significantly less, dependent on each individual’s tax situation. A charitable gift annuity is a simple way to support the future of the University of Maine and to enhance your financial security at the same time. Our planned giving staff will be happy to assist you with more information about charitable gift annuities and other giving options.
We are proud to invest in Maine Law at this time, so our outstanding new dean, faculty and students may fully participate in the University of Maine Graduate & Professional Center’s collaborative programming, along with the University of Maine Graduate School of Business and USM’s Muskie School of Public Service. We hope others will join us in completing the first Harold Alfond Foundation match to the University of Maine Graduate & Professional Center now, to attain the next $40 million grant to make a new, interdisciplinary building a reality.”
