Bequests have played a major role in the success of the organization and they will continue to be very important.  The aim of the Legacy Society is to have people consider naming the Trust in their will in any amount.  Collectively, these donations will work to have the beauty and character of Kennebunkport maintained for future generations, a worthy goal indeed for all who love this special place.

To date, legacy gifts have helped to:
