More than ever before, our community faces the kind of challenges that will affect generations to come. The best way to ensure your gift will be there for your community by giving to the Endowment Fund.
This is a way of investing your gift in perpetuity and distributing only the annual income to the United Way. The Endowment/Planned Giving Fund ensures that resources will be available to respond to our community's needs today and in the future.
HOW YOUR GIFT CAN WORK
You and your financial advisors can select a gift that balances your needs, your interest in United Way of the Valley and the Greater Utica Area and your personal circumstances and wishes. There are many ways to show you care, including:
- Outright gifts such as cash, stock, bonds, personal property, life insurance and real estate
- Bequests through your will
- Charitable lead trusts, which provide income to the Fund and leave assets to your heirs
- Life income gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts
