Ways to Give

With your support, UWGCR can build on long-term initiatives that nurture and grow our efforts to build communities where all can thrive. There are many ways to give, and tax-smart approaches maximize your philanthropic impact. 

Contact Stephen Sheffer for more information on making an impact with these methods. 

UWGCR does not provide tax advice. Please consult a tax professional regarding your personal circumstances and how your donation can help you meet your financial and philanthropic goals.

MAKE A GIFT

 

IRS Charitable Rollover

If you have a qualified retirement plan such as an IRA, individuals age 70 ½+ can make charitable gifts directly from a traditional IRA account to a nonprofit organization tax-free.  An IRA Charitable Rollover to United Way of the Greater Capital Region counts toward your IRA Required Annual Minimum Distribution. 

 

Appreciated Securities

Gifts of stock or other appreciated securities are easily transferred to UWGCR and donating these assets can have tax benefits.

Contact Stephen Sheffer for more information on how to give via stock transfer. 

 

Payroll Deductions

If your employer runs a Workplace Campaign, contributions you make via payroll deduction can add up to a Leadership Society-level gift. Give $39 or more per pay period on a bi-weekly payroll schedule to reach the $1,000 threshold.

Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

One of the fastest-growing vehicles for philanthropic giving is Donor Advised Funds (DAF). A donor-advised fund can help you meet your philanthropic goals. You can recommend gifts from a DAF at a financial-services firm to United Way of the Greater Capital Region.

Contact Stephen Sheffer for more information on how to give via a DAF.
