Planned Giving

Have you asked yourself the following questions:

Have you created an estate plan that secures the future for you and your family?
Have you included charitable giving in your estate plan?
Do you have a will?
Does your will need to be updated?

Gifts through wills and estate plans are the single greatest source of financial support for the future of United Way. In fact, including a charitable gift in your will can benefit you, your family and United Way. If your estate is subject to federal estate tax, a charitable bequest to United Way can save your estate significant tax dollars.

Each time an annual gift is lost, for whatever reason, United Way's ability to serve the community is adversely affected. A charitable bequest to United Way's endowment ensures that your leadership gift will continue in perpetuity. So what is your plan for the future? Make it one that ensures you and your loved ones’ well-being and the long-term vitality of our community through United Way of Greater Cleveland. Let United Way help you by providing complimentary helpful information and guidance as you begin or refine your estate planning and charitable giving.

To learn more about United Way's various gift planning options, visit United Way’s Guide to Planned Giving or contact United Way of Greater Cleveland, (216) 436-2193.
