Considering a gift? We can help.
Writing or updating your will can feel overwhelming. Let us help you simplify the process by sending you our free Will and Estate Planning Guide, designed to walk you through the process of considering your goals, determining how you want your assets distributed, and organizing the relevant documents.
IRA owners age 73 and older may need to take annual required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their accounts. Use our RMD Calculator to determine the amount you are required to withdraw. To learn about gift options that count toward your RMD, visit our Gift from an IRA page.
Making a gift in your will or with a beneficiary designation?
Here is the language you’ll need to use.
“I bequeath [dollar amount or percentage of estate to be donated] to Maine Maritime Academy, a nonprofit corporation, as described in section 170 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and existing under the laws of the state of Maine (tax identification number 01-6000724), with a current address of 1 Pleasant Street, Castine, Maine, 04420, and a current telephone number of 207-326-2232.”
