Cloud Seeders planned giving

Cloud Seeders - Watering the roots of change

Cloud Seeders are donors who are using planned giving to invest in the future of Maine Initiatives. Some support us through bequests or gifts of securities. Others use a variety of trust arrangements:

> Charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts can provide you and loved ones with a guaranteed income stream for a period of years or for life, after which we receive the remaining assets. You get an immediate income tax deduction and pay less capital gains tax.

> Charitable lead trusts pay income to us for an agreed-upon term of years, after which the assets return to you or your heirs. This type of trust can be a wonderful way to make a substantial donation while reducing or eliminating gift and estate taxes otherwise due on assets left to your heirs.

> Revocable living trusts provide for you and your loved ones during your lifetime. At your death, some (or all) of the assets can be left to us. Your estate receives an estate tax deduction for the full amount of your gift.

Email us or call us at 207-622-6294 is you'd like to learn more about becoming a Cloud Seeder. We look forward to talking with you!
