Home Ways to Give Legacy UNITED
In our local community, families struggle with housing, hunger, child-care, family-sustaining job and more – all at the same time.

Your Legacy UNITED investment in United Way is more than just a major gift – it’s a strategic partnership for community change. United Way’s expertise is ensuring your gift works harder and goes further by investing in the programs and innovative solutions best positioned to end the complex cycle of poverty. Because of the generosity of donors like you, we are changing lives. In 2024:

United Way is known for its successful corporate campaigns and employee giving. In addition to that, there is a growing movement of thoughtful individuals contributing major gifts through United Way’s Legacy UNITED. Legacy UNITED includes:
Tocqueville
This is a place where passionate individuals become more deeply involved in United Way’s mission and strategic goals to help our neighbors most in need by investing $10,000 or more annually – and truly leave a Legacy UNITED.
Landmark Giving
These are donations of $5,000 or more made through planned giving or endowment. Planned gifts can take many forms and may be as simple as naming the United Way of Cass-Clay in your will or as beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Depending on the nature of the gift, there may be significant tax advantages to you as a donor. Please consult your financial planning professional and then inform United Way of your giving intentions.
Legacy UNITED is more than just a way to donate; it’s a movement. It’s a commitment to:
Local Action: Investing directly in Cass and Clay counties.
Shared Responsibility: Working together to solve community problems
Lasting Change: Creating sustainable solutions for a brighter future.
