Gifts that pay you back
Transfer securities, cash, or other property to Greater Twin Cities United Way and we’ll manage the investment of the assets and pay an income to you, your designated beneficiaries, or both. Receive payments for the rest of your life or, in some cases, up to a certain number of years.

Planned giving helps fuel United Way’s mission
When you include a donation as part of your overall estate and financial planning, you ensure we make meaningful strides toward achieving our mission: to unite changemakers, advocate for social good and develop solutions to address the challenges no one can solve alone.
We were taught you always give back what you can. And now with grandkids, I care a lot about the kind of world they’re going to inherit.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
