United Way - Ways to Donate

Ways to Donate

There are many ways to make a financial contribution to this United Way.

Pledged Donation

Workplace Giving
If your place of employment conducts a United Way campaign, you can have your pledged gift deducted monthly from your paycheck. You can specify an amount, or simply choose the "Fair Share" option -- one hour's pay per month. A pledge form should be provided at your company.

Direct Gift
If your workplace does not have a United Way campaign, or if you simply wish to give directly, you can print out a pledge form or request one from our office. You can choose to either give a one-time gift, or a scheduled billing plan.

Online Donation

The United e-Way service, provided by United Way of America, has an online donation form that you can use to donate directly to this United Way using Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards. This secure website makes it easy and safe to contribute to what matters most in this community.

Asset Philanthropy

Appreciated Stock
Contributing stock shares can be a huge win-win; we suggest that you contact your financial advisor or broker prior to making a contribution in this manner. Essentially, appreciated stock may be donated at a great tax savings for you, the donor, while at the same time making a great impact for the community. This is an outstanding way to show your philanthropy in the community.

Bequest
A well planned will is the centerpiece of an effective and thoughtful estate plan. When preparing or revising a will, one makes important choices that make it possible to fulfill personal wishes that reduces taxes and make "gifts of a lifetime" to charitable interests. United Way can provide you with information that can benefit not only your heirs, but your community.

IRA Assets
Recent changes to the laws governing distribution of funds within an IRA may be greatly beneficial to donors. Consult your financial advisor or stock broker to learn more about this opportunity.

Life Insurance
Naming United Way as beneficiary of a life insurance policy you own may be an outstanding method of assisting you in your financial or estate planning goal. This is another way that you and your heirs may give the "gift of a lifetime" to your community.
