Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is more than New England’s largest botanical garden – we are also a nonprofit organization that relies on charitable gifts to support our mission. Your support makes it possible for us to provide a place of beauty, learning, and connection to the natural world. Together, we are creating a resource for the community and for present and future visitors.

Annual gifts provide unrestricted funds that support everything from beautiful horticultural displays to educational programs for all ages.
Annual Giving Circles
Gifts to our Annual Fund of $175 or above place you in one of our Annual Giving Circles. Each circle comes with its own set of tailored benefits.
Sponsorship
We seek corporate sponsors at all levels on a wide array of exhibits and events, such as supporting our annual Gardens Aglow event or seasonal art displays.
Tribute & Memorial Gifts
Remember a loved one or celebrate a special occasion by supporting the Gardens. Your thoughtful gift honors someone special in your life and supports the continued growth and renewal of the Gardens. A letter will be sent to your recipient of choice letting them know a gift has been made in their name.
Support by the Square Foot
Flowers have a long history of serving as a tribute to love and to honor. The gift of a square foot of gardens is $25, and every gift comes with a certificate mailed to you or to the recipient of your choice.
Cultivating Joy
Guided by a new master plan, our Cultivating Joy Capital Campaign has launched to support and address organizational and infrastructural needs, such as the planned Research and Propagation Center, Glass Conservatory, over 14 acres of new gardens, and an expanded Education Campus.
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a strategy to maximize your philanthropic goals. Through careful planning and the use of alternative options for giving, you can enjoy significant tax savings, turn appreciated assets into a secure income stream, provide for loved ones, and make a larger gift to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens than you ever thought possible.
