Donor Programs
Major gifts provide more significant contributions, usually restricted to a particular program, building restoration project, or endowment fund at the Museum. Specific opportunities may be discussed with the Vice President Institutional Advancement.

Memorial gifts are made to honor an individual associated with Strawbery Banke Museum or a loved one who might have shared the Museum's passion for preserving and interpreting the seacoast's cultural history. Such contributions are acknowledged to both the donor and the honoree. These gifts are generally unrestricted and support our year round programs.

Planned gifts and bequests generally include life income gifts such as charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, and life insurance policies whereby the donor, in exchange for her/his gift, receives income for life. Strawbery Banke benefits from the gift upon the passing of the income beneficiary. Donors who name the Museum as a beneficiary of such gifts are recognized as members of the Puddle Dock Society.
