The United Way Foundation was founded in 1992 and allows donors to perpetuate their annual giving and provide for United Way's future through bequests and other planned gifts. The vision and leadership of these donors ensure that United Way can continue, beyond their lifetimes, to address urgent human needs in our community. To that end, the United Way Foundation periodically makes grant awards for special community projects, emergency relief and capital funding projects. Separate from the Annual Campaign, Foundation gifts are consolidated and invested to ensure that funds will be available well into the future. Furthermore, outright or deferred gifts to the Foundation can be structured to provide tax advantages and life income
for donors.

Please consider a legacy gift to the United Way Foundation by including us in your will or estate plan. For more information, please contact Michelle Malyn at 567-8900 or via email at michelle.malyn@unitedwayirc.org.
