Planned Giving

Make a lasting impact on families in need of a decent and affordable place to call home.

Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or benefit families after your lifetime, you can find a plan that fits your needs. Together, we can come up with a plan that lets you provide for your family while helping other families through our charitable bequest program.

What is Legacy Giving?

Legacy giving lets you donate to Midcoast Habitat for Humanity in a manner that is consistent with your ability and your goals.

With careful planning, you’ll be able to establish a meaningful legacy that provides affordable homeownership to your neighbors in need long into the future.

Open New Doors: Through legacy giving, you can impact health, education and affordable homeownership opportunities for families and individuals in our community.

What Legacy do you Want to Build?

Do you hope for a community with healthier kids, greater academics, stronger neighborhoods and affordable homeownership opportunities for families and individuals? Your planned gift to Midcoast Habitat for Humanity will create a lasting impact in all of these areas, and beyond.

Habitat homeowner partners are strong, stable and self-reliant, and they pass these virtues on to their children. Today, after decades of proven success, Midcoast Habitat will multiply affordable homeownership opportunities for local families in the years ahead.
