Leadership Giving

It's easier than you think.

Reaching the $1,000 level is easier than you think. You can join Leadership Circles by giving as little as $20 a week through regular paycheck contributions, and many companies will match their employees' donations. Spouses or domestic partners may also combine their gift to be recognized at higher Leadership Giving levels.

Stocks and securities

Another alternative is to donate a gift of stocks, securities, or real estate if the asset has been held for more than one year. The tax savings can be significant because you pay no long-term capital gains tax. You may even use the full, appreciated value of the stock as a charitable deduction. We’ll help guide you through the process and provide necessary IRS substantiation
forms.

Planned giving

You can also make a Leadership gift through planned giving. We’ll work with you and your professional advisors to develop a plan that meets your financial goals and creates a legacy that reflects your values. With our focus on helping people with immediate needs, and investing in long-term community change, your investment in United Way will make a difference in people’s lives for generations to come. There are a variety of giving options to meet your goals and budget. Please call 503.226.9329 for further information or contact us by email.
