A sound investment today and for generations to come

Consider your gift as a sound investment that benefits you and your family today, and that you are impacting the future of our community for generations to come. Funds held by United Way of Martin County Foundation are professionally managed and are monitored by a volunteer Board of Directors who share your interest in preserving the well-being of our community.

Caring for our Community  

With the needs of our community continuing to grow and evolve year after year, we are committed now more than ever before to be the agent for change in our community for generations to come. Our strategy – build our endowment fund to $13 million. 

Once this goal is reached, the interest earned on the invested principal will generate an additional $500,000 annually that United Way can infuse back into our community every year.

Be a part of the future

Your support of the endowment will ensure stable funding during challenging economic times – like now – when human service needs are heightened. It will also expand capacity for emergency response programs in times of crisis or natural disaster.  

There are two easy ways that you can help:

• An outright gift – Support the endowment fund now through traditional gifts, donated stock, or with a Donor Advised Fund. Qualified Charitable Deductions from an IRA is a tax-savvy way to support your community and meet the IRS’s Required Minimum Distributions (RMD).  
• A deferred gift – Include United Way of Martin County in your will/bequest or make United Way of Martin County the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA or retirement plan or consider United Way of Martin County as part of the succession plan of a Donor Advised Fund.
