Ways To Give
Whether you're interested in charitable gift funds, gift annuities or learning more about leaving United Way in your will—we offer several options to fit your charitable plan. There are a variety of ways to help you strengthen our community while also meeting your family, business and charitable goals...and at the same time, may help you to reduce your income taxes and avoid capital-gains taxes.
We would be honored to help you identify how we can best help you fulfill your philanthropic needs. General types of giving include:
Gifts by Will
By leaving a bequest to United Way of Greater Rochester, you will make a lasting contribution to our community. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your total estate or a share of the remainder after your gift to your heirs.
Gifts that Pay You Income
Not only can you support our community, you can also provide for yourself and your loved ones both before and after your death. Life-income gifts, such as gift annuities, can provide you with an income stream and tax benefits as well as providing the community with the help it needs.
Gifts of Life Insurance or Retirement Plan Benefits
Naming United Way—and ultimately, our community—as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy or retirement plan is an easy way to make a gift to help our community in a big way with little expense.
