Leave a Legacy
Where there is a will, there is a way. When you keep giving by donating to the United Way’s fund, it shows how much you care about helping your local community. Planning to leave a legacy gift means you understand the issues we face now and want to keep helping in the future. Your legacy gift to the United Way continues to make a difference even after you’re gone, making sure your kindness helps people in our community for a long time.
Making a bequest in your will is one of the easiest ways you can establish your legacy. You can leave a fixed amount of money, a particular asset or a portion of your estate.
How do I name United Way Peterborough & District in my will?
When naming a charity such as United Way in your will as a beneficiary, your estate will benefit from the charitable tax receipt offsetting taxes due. A bequest is the most common type of planned gift. It is up to you to decide how your gift will be used, however a general gift allows United Way to direct the monies received to the areas of greatest need.
