We’re building a strong foundation for our region, now and for the future.

Convenience: Giving through a DAF allows you to make a gift when it is convenient for you. And you can make automatic recurring gifts on a schedule of your choice.
Stress-Free Giving: Using a Donor Advised Fund allows you to make a gift of any amount without worrying about annual cashflow needs.
Legacy Planning: Leaving the balance of your fund to United Way when you are finished using it is a simple way to leave a legacy.
