Why planned giving?

In addition to helping our community, we want your gifts to be rewarding to you as well.

That’s why we’re happy to talk with you about the financial tools you can use to wisely plan your gift so that it can return benefits to you.

Depending on the gift arrangement and your circumstances, you could increase your income, decrease your estate taxes, or receive a tax deduction for items that you can no longer use or want to maintain.  These are all examples of “planned gifts” that can also provide benefits to your family and loved ones. 

Did you know that you can... 

• Make a gift using appreciated securities and realize larger tax savings than if you had used cash?
• Make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime?
• Make a gift that pays you income for life?
• Preserve your estate for your children and deliver years of income to United Way?
• Donate your house, take a tax deduction, and continue to live in it rent-free?
• Turn surplus life insurance coverage into a gift?
