Online Donation

There are two ways to donate electronically:

• United eWay Click N Give: This is United Way of America' s tool for local United Ways to accept donations electronically.

Payroll Deduction 

Nationwide, almost 90 percent of the people who give to United Way at the workplace do so through payroll deduction. It is convenient, voluntary and the best way for employees to support the community in which they live.

Securities 

Gifts of appreciated securities can be deducted at their full market value from your adjusted gross income. Such gifts also avoid the liability for capital gains tax, thus providing you with a double tax benefit.

Bequest & Estate Gifts 

Naming United Way of Martin County in your will, or selecting one of many proven ways to donate appreciated assets to charity creates a legacy of caring that will extend your level of support well into the future. It also provides income or estate tax benefits, security and a way to provide for yourself and loved ones.

Leadership Giving 

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society was created by United Way of America to recognize individuals who exemplify voluntary service and philanthropy in their communities. The society was named after French nobleman Alexis de Tocqueville because of his admiration for America's spirit of voluntary association and commitment to the common good, about which he wrote enthusiastically in his book, Democracy in America.
