Make A Lasting Difference
For decades, we’ve partnered with donors, partner organizations, and local leaders to create strong and thriving communities. But, as times change so do the needs of our region. United Way’s role in leading a shared responsibility for social good, means that you can trust that your future gift will be used to address pressing social issues facing our community.
A gift in your Will can have an impactful legacy that benefits thousands of people in your community, while still looking after the people you love.
“A gift in your will can have numerous and diverse benefits. Aside from taxation relief and simplifying tasks for your executor, a legacy gift can have many other positive advantages for the community you leave behind. What better way to help improve life than to keep on giving after you’re gone.” – Rich Moccia, a longtime United Way supporter
