- Gifts of cash are the simplest method of contributing to Spectrum Generations. You can make your gift online via a secure site, by mail or by phone. Unrestricted gifts allow us to use funds where they are most needed, or you can choose to designate your gift to one of our community centers and/or programs.

You choose the amount you want to contribute each month (a minimum of $5.00) and determine the timeframe for making the gift (12 months, for example). If you need to cancel at any time, you can contact us by calling 207-620-1677 or TTY: 1.800.464.8703.
- Gifts of stock entitle you to a charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the securities without paying tax on the securities’ appreciation. To make a gift of stock, please contact Stephanie Hanner, Community Engagement Officer.
- Tribute gifts can be a memorial gift in remembrance of someone special, or to honor someone on their birthday, anniversary, retirement, or other special occasion. Tribute gifts are acknowledged by letter to the next-of-kin (for memorial gifts) or person of honor and the amount of the gift remains confidential.
- In-kind gifts of tangible property (office furniture, antiques, equipment) may provide you or your businesses with a desirable tax deduction. You are responsible for substantiating the value of your in-kind donation for tax purposes. If the value of your gift is more than $5,000, you will need to include a written appraisal.
- Planned gifts, like other gifts can be unrestricted or designated for a specific purpose such as our endowment. Cash, securities, real estate, and personal property are all assets that may be given. For more information, view the information we have on Planned Giving.
- Gifts of time for many, donating their time and expertise is another valuable way to make a contribution. We have a number of volunteer opportunities if you're interested in supporting us this way.
- Matching gifts offer an opportunity to increase charitable support if your employer has a matching gift program. Many companies match or even multiply donations made by their employees and sometimes their retired personnel. Some companies will also make a contribution when an employee has volunteered time to an organization like Spectrum Generations. Contact the human resources department at your company for more information.
- AmazonSmile Program. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Central Maine Area Agency On Aging whenever you shop on AmazonSmile. To support Spectrum Generations on AmazonSmile, please follow the link here.
