LEAVE A LEGACY
Making a planned gift creates a legacy of community giving
and support over an extended period of time. Through
planned giving you can affect long-term, lasting changes
that will improve the quality of life for generations to come
while taking advantage of many benefits, which may:
• Reduce your taxes
• Increase your income
• Conserve your family’s wealth
• Fulfill your charitable goals
Endowing your gift by contributing to the United Way of
Brazoria County Endowment Fund or through a separate
foundation is the best way to ensure that the causes
important to you are perpetually funded at the annual level
you choose.
There are several ways to structure your gift:
• Outright gift of cash, stock or real estate
• Deferred Giving Strategy
a) Listing United Way as the beneficiary of an IRA
b) Naming United Way in your will
c) Creating a provision to perpetuate your annual gift
d) Purchasing a life insurance policy
e) Memorial giving in honor of a loved one
• Split Interest Gift, such as setting up a charitable
trust
For more information on our planned giving options,
please contact us at 979.849.9402.
