Double Your Gift: Company Matching

You can increase the impact of your donation with a Corporate Matching Gift.

Corporate matching gifts are donations your employer makes on your behalf to match your charitable contributions. Employers often match dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will double or even triple the value of your gift, even for retired employees.

For more information, contact Christina Berube, cberube@mainepublic.org

Below you'll find just some of the companies that can help your gift grow and increase your impact. Companies are listed alphabetically and this list is not comprehensive — be sure to check with your employer directly. Thank you!

Ways to Support

Leadership Giving

Maine Public established the Beacon Society to recognize the support of generous leadership donors who provide annual gifts totaling $1,200 — that’s $100 per month — or more. These donors believe that Maine Public is an essential organization with statewide impact achieved through its public radio, television, and digital services, its educational outreach initiatives and its collaboration with other organizations and agencies.

Tower Society

Gifts to Maine Public are vital to the furthering the mission. The Tower Society is a special group of people that have made planned gifts to Maine Public. All planned gifts to Maine Public qualify you to become a Tower Society member, our legacy society.

As a Tower Society member, you will be recognized in the annual report for including in your planned giving intentions. You will receive special invitations to events and offerings and be kept informed through exclusive communications to Tower Society members.

Bequest

A provision in a will for Maine Public allows for a substantial contribution without diminishing assets during one’s lifetime. Since bequests for Maine Public are deductible from the estate, significant tax savings are possible. A gift through your estate can provide significant support to Maine Public. The gift can be made through a will or a trust, and both documents enable you to distribute assets to individuals and nonprofit organizations in the amounts or proportions you indicate.

A gift through your estate provides the following benefits:

Gift of Securities

There are distinct income tax advantages of giving securities over cash, and the benefits are twofold: you will receive a deduction for the fair market value of the stock (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income), and capital gains taxes do not apply. Charitable gifts of appreciated securities make sense now more than ever.

Charitable Remainder Trust

An irrevocable trust may be used to provide the donor or a loved one with a fixed annual income or an income which varies with the value of the trust. A portion of the trust qualifies for an income tax deduction. At the death of the last income beneficiary, the assets in the trust are distributed to Maine Public. This option is great for multiple charitable beneficiaries. It allows for the donor to change the named beneficiaries and change start/stop time frame.
