Pine Tree Society

2020 Goals

Eighty years ago, Pine Tree Society started as a bold new idea. Its founders had a vision: to meet the unmet needs of Maine people with disabilities through innovative services. Their vision and foresight has set Pine Tree Society on a long-term path of growth.

Today, we continue to grow and evolve to effectively address needs and transform more lives. In 2020 Pine Tree Society is poised to continue to expand its services designed to help Maine people with disabilities with a focus supporting young adults, and their families, transition from school to adulthood. At the same time, we are working to bring the magic and impact of Pine Tree Camp to other Pine Tree Society programs with a focus of immersion in nature and the outdoors and barrier-free recreation.

Pine Tree Society continues its commitment to ensure that the Pine Tree Camp experience is available to all who can benefit regardless of their ability to pay tuition. Pine Tree Camp’s Open Door Policy translates into the need to raise $1 million on an annual basis.

Fundraising Events/Opportunities

Pine Tree Society’s special events are focused on raising money to support Pine Tree Camp’s Campership Fund. Since it opened in 1945, Pine Tree Camp has welcomed all who could benefit from a barrier-free summer camp opportunity regardless of their ability to pay the $1,900 tuition. Last year, Pine Tree Camp provided nearly 99% of its 650 campers with full or partial tuition assistance. This commitment translates into the need to raise $1 million on an annual basis.

Giving Opportunities

Pine Tree Society’s long history of transforming the lives of Maine people with disabilities has been made possible thanks to the generous support of thousands of donors from across Maine and beyond. The business community can continue to make a difference in the lives of Maine people served by Pine Tree Society–and feel good about their investment.

  • Support Pine Tree Society’s annual appeal, which directly benefits the organization’s full slate of programs and services.
  • Sponsor a Pine Tree camper from your local community as part of the Pine Tree Camp 100 campaign. Your $1,900 donation will mean that a child with a disability will enjoy a transformative barrier-free summer camp experience. Since it opened in 1945, Pine Tree Camp has never turned a camper away due to inability to pay tuition.
  • Purchase Pine Tree Society holiday cards. Since 1965, Pine Tree Society holiday cards proceeds are put to work immediately in our communities. Featuring the work of noted Maine artists, the Society’s holiday cards are the perfect way to wish customers, vendors, family members and friends a happy holiday season while impacting Maine people with disabilities
