Vision

The Preservation Fund is committed to ensuring that the path receives the necessary attention and care so that it can continue to be enjoyed by our community of walkers. The Fund actively works to create awareness around its mission and the sustainability needs of the coastal path with the audience of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who enjoy the walkway each year. Contributions to the Preservation Fund help to secure the Fund’s ability to respond to destruction along the coastal path and fund remediation projects that are required when unpredictable storm damage and natural erosion occur. Donors can donate to the MWPF through gift giving opportunities such as the Annual Appeal, Plaque Sales, Estate/Legacy gifts, and restricted donations.

Goals

1. 1.The MWPF solicits contributions through fundraising activities. These contributions are used to fund the organization's endowment. Endowment earnings are then leveraged for projects related to beautify, improve or maintain the Town of Ogunquit, Maine's scenic coastal walkway, known as the Marginal Way.
2. 2.Storms along the Marginal Way caused significant damage to the beloved path with repairs estimated to cost $3 million. Through our fundraising efforts, we hope to raise the additional $2.5 million needed so the Marginal Way can be safely repaired today and made more resilient for the future.
