Your Philanthropic Legacy Starts With a Plan
Make a lasting impression through planned giving
Designating a planned gift is a meaningful way to show your dedication and appreciation to United Way’s mission while also accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With early and smart planning, donors may actually increase the size of their total gift and/or reduce the tax burden on heirs. Just as important, a planned gift provides meaningful stability to United Way’s community impact investments.
