make a giftGive to Southern Maine Agency on Aging!

We are grateful for the gifts we receive each year that support our mission to improve the quality of life for older adults, adults with disabilities, and the people who care for them. No matter the amount, every gift makes a difference for older adults in Cumberland and York counties.

For nearly 50 years, the Southern Maine Agency on Aging (SMAA) has been fostering connections that make it possible for older adults and their caregivers to live to their fullest potential.

Since the start of the pandemic, the need for many of SMAA’s services has increased dramatically. Last year, we served more clients than any previous year; nearly 4,000 more clients than we had served only two years before. Our Meals on Wheels program has 30% more clients than it did two years ago.

Thank you for considering a donation to SMAA today!

Since our inception, SMAA has been blessed with loyal donors who have chosen to honor our agency by making a gift in the form of an annuity or a trust arrangement or by providing for SMAA in their will or estate plan. This includes donors who name us as a beneficiary of a retirement account or insurance policy.

We encourage donors who have made a provision for SMAA in their estate plans to share with us their intentions. Providing this information makes it possible for our staff to discuss with donors how they would like their eventual gift to be directed, to maximize the impact of the gift for the Agency.
