United Way Endowment – Providing Strength for Tomorrow
The goal of the United Way Endowment Fund is to establish a perpetual source of revenue for United Way of Washtenaw County.
Our vision is to provide an increasing stream of income to underwrite all campaign and administrative expenses, allowing 100% of funds raised during the annual campaign to be distributed to help others in our community.
A gift to the Endowment Fund provides you with tax benefits, estate planning benefits, and the satisfaction of knowing that your gift will continue to benefit our community far into the future.
Why give to the United Way Endowment Fund?
Your gift is an investment in creating lasting positive change in the lives of children, families and individuals right here in Washtenaw County. By giving to the Endowment Fund you are supporting United Way’s ability to address the root causes of the most pressing problems facing our community.
The principal of the Endowment Fund remains intact with income from the fund used to support programs and services that meet the most critical needs in our community.
