WAYS TO GIVE

It's easy to make a legacy gift to United Way. Popular options include: 

Will or Living Trust Gifts 

A bequest provision can be included in your will when you draft it or as a codicil amending your existing will. This arrangement provides you with flexibility and control should your circumstances change. You can designate an exact amount, an asset, or a percentage of the assets in your estate.

Retirement Plan or Life Insurance Gifts

You can select United Way as a beneficiary of a portion of any balances remaining in your retirement or life insurance plans. This includes qualified charitable distributions (QCD) from an IRA, the QCD allows donors 70 1/2 or older to transfer up to $100,000 directly from their IRA to United Way on an annual basis.

Securities Gifts

Use publicly traded securities or other appreciated assets to make your gift to United Way. Donating assets with a low-cost basis often results in significant tax advantages in comparison to a cash gift.
