Long-range charitable gift arrangements are often referred to as "planned gifts." Making a planned gift to the Abbe Museum is a special way to structure your giving to help support the mission of the Abbe to promote the understanding and appreciation of Maine’s Native American culture, history and archaeology. With planned giving options, everyone wins; you provide for our needs now or later, and we provide for your needs now. We encourage you to explore the possibilities and opportunities for gift planning with your legal and tax advisors.
If your have or would like to make provisions for the Abbe Museum in your planning you are eligible to join our Sieur de Monts Society.
Further information about planned giving and the Sieur de Monts Society can be obtained from
