ORONO — Amos Orcutt, president/CEO of the University of Maine Foundation, has announced the promotion of Sarah McPartland-Good to director of planned giving. She will have the primary responsibility of developing and coordinating the Foundation’s comprehensive gift planning program.

“The Foundation has seen steady growth over the past several years increasing its assets from $48.3 million in 1995 to over $188 million in 2008. Sarah has been a key part of our success and we are thrilled to promote her to this important position, particularly at this juncture, when the University of Maine is in the midst of a $150 million comprehensive campaign, the largest in its history. A large portion of the campaign is dedicated to raising funds for student scholarships and faculty endowments,” Orcutt says.

McPartland-Good, who is an attorney, joined the Foundation in 1998 as a planned giving officer after working in the private practice of law in Bangor. She earned a communications degree from the University of Southern Maine and a law degree from Franklin Pierce Law Center.

“The Foundation’s future looks very bright because of its incredible level of donor service, stewardship and accountability and I look forward to working with our many alumni and friends to create even more opportunities for students,” McPartland-Good said.

The University of Maine Foundation is an independent, dynamic and enterprising nonprofit organization that exists to encourage gifts and bequests to support the University of Maine.
