Sponsorship

Sponsorships provide the animal of your choice with vital funds for the food, maintenance, and attention they require. All sponsorships are tax deductible.

Sponsorships show your commitment for the lifetime of an individual animal, or your area of interest.  All animals remain under our care and live on the Preserve.

The most rewarding benefit of all is knowing that you are personally helping to care for these magnificent beings. Contact Kisma at (207) 667-3244 to discuss the animals that are available under this program!

Planned Giving

Planned gifts are a permanent fund that supports Kisma's mission and the future stability of the preserve. While benefiting the Kisma Preserve in a lasting way, your planned gift may have great personal benefit by reducing estate taxes, avoiding capital gains, and increasing cash flow.
