Ways to Give: Donate to Maine Coastal Conservation

Your gift powers the conservation of Maine’s lands and waters—protecting special places, caring for them for the long haul, and connecting people to the coast. Every donation helps keep the Maine coast healthy, accessible, and thriving.

Flexible Ways to Support the Coast

There are many giving levels and opportunities to support the Maine coast.

Become an Anchor

Being a monthly giver is the greener way to go because you can contribute electronically, which creates more efficiencies for us. This allows us to be more proactive and strategic in our work—making every dollar you give go a little bit further.

Join The President’s Circle

A gift of $1,000 or more welcomes you into The President’s Circle (TPC). As a TPC member, you help lead the charge to conserving the Maine coast. You will receive special updates and invitations to unique events, plus get a closer look at the impact you make possible.

Join MCHT’s Next Wave

Under 50 and love the Maine coast? A gift of any amount connects you with a community of young conservation supporters. You’ll get invitations to unique events (bring friends!) and insider updates on the work your giving makes possible.

More Ways to Give

Not every meaningful gift is financial. These options help you create lasting impact in different ways.
