Find Your Legacy
These giving opportunities represent more than donations—they’re investments in creativity, culture, and connection across the Midcoast
- Name a Space, Leave a Legacy: Celebrate a loved one, commemorate a moment, or mark your commitment to community by naming a studio, gallery, or classroom. Opportunities range from $10,000 to $100,000.
- Make a Direct Contribution: Every dollar supports creative access and education. Checks may be made payable to “Waterfall Arts” with “25th Anniversary” noted in the memo.
- Give Online: Contribute securely via PayPal at www.waterfallarts.org
- Pledge Over Time: Make a lasting impact by spreading your gift over three years. Flexible pledge forms are available in print and online.
- Sustain Your Support Monthly: Set up a recurring gift from your bank account or credit card. A consistent monthly contribution creates dependable support for ongoing programs.
- Donate Securities: Appreciated stocks or mutual funds can be a tax-smart way to give. Contact us to learn more about making a gift of securities.
- Contribute Through Your IRA: If you’re over 70½, a qualified charitable distribution from your IRA may count toward your required minimum distribution and be made tax-free.
- Double Your Gift with Matching: Many employers and retirees offer matching gift programs. Ask your HR representative if your contribution can be matched.
- Plan a Gift for the Future: Include Waterfall Arts in your estate plans through a bequest or other legacy gift. Let us know so we can recognize your commitment today.
Donors whose gifts are anonymous will not be listed on any materials or signage. All other donors will be gratefully acknowledged on donor signage on the building as a member of our 25th Anniversary Cascade Society.
