Establishing a legacy through estate giving will impact generations of UMaine students, faculty and staff with enhanced learning opportunities in perpetuity. Generally, assets are used to establish endowed funds which can be dedicated to supporting UMaine in the way which follows your estate plan instructions. Skilled Foundation staff will quickly and confidentially provide gift illustrations and the language needed to be sure that your wishes are achieved. If you let us know that you have provided at least $10,000 for the University of Maine or its affiliated organizations in your will, trust, pooled life income fund, life insurance policy, gift annuity or retirement fund, you immediately become a full member of the Charles F. Allen Legacy Society. Your gift need not be irrevocable and we understand that situations change. It is your current expression of commitment to the University that is important.
