PLANNED GIVING
Our Future
As our community needs continue to grow and evolve, United Way is looking to the future. Our vision is to be the key partner that brings together people and businesses from all sectors to build a stronger, healthier and more sustainable community. We strive to make real, lasting improvements in the lives of thousands of people in our community, identify priority human service needs and convene the appropriate parties to address them.
Consider a Gift That Will Leave a Legacy of Caring
United Way of Chittenden County’s Legacy Fund provides on-going support for United Way operations, programs and services. Help ensure that our mission endures by remembering United Way in your will, trust, life insurance, estate plan or other planned giving options. Through your foresight, you’ll continue to respond to tomorrow’s critical needs.
Benefits of Giving
Your gift is a sound investment benefiting you and your family today, and will serve those in need in our community for years to come. Although most individuals do not make contributions to United Way for tax related reasons, you may find that your and your family will significantly benefit from laws governing charitable contributions, especially as they relate to estate and qualified retirement plan taxes.
Our Commitment to You
In return for your trust in us, we promise to maximize the impact of every dollar invested in our community. You can rest assured that your money will be wisely spent, and as a responsible community member, United Way will report back to you on our progress.
