For more than 100 years, United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut has been engaging and bringing together people and resources committed to the well-being of children and families in our community. Together in partnership with individuals, businesses, other nonprofits and the public sector, we focus on closing gaps in child literacy, housing, wages and life expectancy so everyone succeeds. Together, we are United to End Poverty.
We offer a variety of giving options for you to partner in this work. Because we realize that you may already give to organizations focused on issues of interest to you, United Way offers a Private Label Donor Advised Fund, a way to give to both United Way AND the causes you care about.
What is a Donor Advised Fund?
Our United Way Private Label Donor Advised Fund offers you a low cost, flexible vehicle for charitable giving. When you invest in a United Way Private Label Donor Advised Fund you have the opportunity to:
- Achieve positive impact, based on your personal interests, values and philanthropic goals
- Participate in the most tax advantageous way to make charitable contributions, with the flexibility to recommend grants over time
- Invest funds in one of six investment pools, each providing a competitive return on investment, as well as a Money Market pool
- Establish charitable giving as your legacy by involving children or grandchildren in your grant making decisions
- Support the organizations you care about in perpetuity by assigning a successor advisor
- Establish a personal online account to review and manage your investments and charitable giving
- Contribute cash and/or marketable securities; with prior approval, other assets such as real estate, artwork, or private company stock may also be contributed
