Charitable Bequest: Involves naming United Way in your will or estate plan. This provides a gift to Untied Way when you pass away. You can leave a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount, or what is left when all other bequests are fulfilled

Beneficiary Designation: You may name United Way in an existing life insurance policy or retirement account through a change of beneficiary form. The change of beneficiary form can be requested from your plan administrator or insurance provider. This can provide an easy way to give to an important cause without paying the estate tax or tax that is charged when individual beneficiaries receive transferred funds.

United Way Life: You may also elect to give a new life insurance policy to United Way. By having United Way own the policy, you can receive a tax deduction for the premiums during your income earning years while creating a gift outside of your estate. We have a program to help make this an easy process, and we would be happy to provide you with an estimate of cost based on your current situation.
