Gifts of Stock
Giving stock or securities to United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut is a strategic way to invest in positive community change.

If you have an IRA, your first required minimum distribution must be taken when you reach age 73. You can give from your IRA distribution directly to United Way without increasing your adjusted gross income.(Please consult your financial/tax advisor to determine your required minimum distribution and tax implications associated with your IRA charitable rollover gift.)
