Annual Gift

Endow Your Annual Gift

United Way appreciates your loyal annual support to meet current, critical needs of our most vulnerable populations. A gift to United Way Endowment is a way to ensure your annual support continues in perpetuity. A gift to the Annual Campaign impacts lives today, and a gift to the endowment impacts lives forever. 

With an endowed gift, a percentage of earnings is used annually to meet current, critical needs in our community. Using a 5% distribution rate as an example, a $10,000 endowed gift will generate $500 in perpetuity annually. A one-time gift to United Way Endowment provides an annual gift to ensure your gift remains relevant as the needs of the community change and evolve.

Donor Recognition
Donors who provide a signed Letter of Intent (intend to make a gift to the United Way Endowment), will be highlighted in the United Way of Portage County annual brochure.   

Gifts under $10,000 received to the United Way Endowment, will be recognized annually as a United Way Contributor, and upon death, will be remembered as a United Circle of Caring Legacy Donor.

Gifts of $10,000 or more received to the United Way Endowment will be recognized annually in the United Way of Portage County annual brochure.
