In My Words: Ann and David Ingram, MCHT Donors
July 15, 2021 | People Make It Possible | Community Impact, Donors
We first got to know Maine Coast Heritage Trust through Aldermere Farm, and our relationship with the organization grew from there. Over the years we’ve supported the annual fund and special projects in the Midcoast and elsewhere throughout the state.
It’s important to us to get to know the people and programs of the organizations we’re supporting—to really wrap our arms around them. We’ve had that opportunity with MCHT.
“We wanted to give back to this place that has become so important to us.”
We’re both directly involved with nonprofits, so we know what good governance looks like. MCHT isn’t just giving lip service to its mission—they’re actively pursuing it. And their success in raising money for the recent Campaign is further proof that there are supporters like us who find land conservation to be important.
When we set out to make our estate plans, we talked to David Warren at MCHT, and we’ve set up a special fund to help preserve accessibility and provide for ongoing stewardship of MCHT’s lands and programs.
Over the decades we’ve come to love Maine’s natural beauty, and the people here have been good to us. We wanted to give back to this place that has become so important to us.
