Planned Giving

Pathways to Home Circle

At Tedford Housing, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. Our Pathways to Home Circle honors a special group of supporters who have made a lasting commitment to that vision by including Tedford in their estate plans.

Planned gifts—such as bequests, beneficiary designations, or charitable gift annuities—ensure that individuals and families in our community will continue to find support, shelter, and a path forward for years to come.

When you make a planned gift to Tedford Housing, you’re building more than a legacy—you’re uplifting futures.

  • Planned gifts reflect a donor’s commitment to long-term impact. These gifts are typically arranged through estate or financial planning, and often allow supporters to give beyond what they might be able to during their lifetime. Whether through a will, trust, or beneficiary designation, your planned gift supports Tedford’s mission for generations to come.

    • Bequests in a will or trust

    • Retirement account or life insurance beneficiary designations

    • Donor-advised funds

    • Charitable gift annuities or remainder trusts

    • Gifts of real estate or other non-cash assets

Why Planned Giving?

“As a pastor in Brunswick,I know first-hand the good work Tedford Housing has done for our neighbors in need. Now that I’m widowed, retired and planning for travel, I revised my estate plan to include a bequest for the  mission Tedford Housing. It will be my witness to the care I have for our neighbors and the work my late husband and I advocated for.” -Carolyn, Pathways to Home Circle Member

“Wherever I’ve lived across the US, I’ve witnessed the same scene: people on the street going through painful chapters in life, with nothing. There were never enough resources. Now, as a retiree back in Maine, I am impressed with Tedford Housing’s thoughtful strategy and the respectful assistance they provide to our neighbors. My membership in the Pathways to Home Circle means I'm helping Tedford realize its long-term vision in addition to supporting their important day-to-day work. I know planned gifts like mine will help Tedford catch up with this growing problem in the midcoast and serve future generations.” -Linda, Pathways to Home Circle Member
