OUR MISSION
To improve the
quality of life for the people of Martin County through the
development and stewardship of assets maintained by the United
Way of Martin County Foundation.
The United Way of Martin County Foundation
is a 501(C)(3) public charity, designed to provide an endowment
fund to assure the mission of the United Way of Martin County is
achieved for current and future generations
The endowment funds raised and managed by
the Foundation increase the United Way’s ability to meet
changing and emerging needs of our children, families, elderly
and all residents of our community.
The Foundation provides a vehicle for
United Way supporters to assure, either posthumously or during
their lifetimes, their United Way will continue to provide
long-lasting support for the many organizations which make
Martin County the wonderful and supportive community it is..
Most of us give time, talent and treasures to charitable
organizations throughout our lives. We experience the joy that
comes from giving to a charity that puts our values and
priorities into action. Many of us have our personal reasons for
charitable giving while we are living; but statistics show that
only a few of us have thought about making a charitable gift
that will leave a legacy long after we are gone.
-
70
percent of the U.S. population gives to charities
annually.
-
Only 6
percent leave gifts to charity through their wills
and estates.
-
Over the next 40 years, an estimated $41 trillion
will pass from one generation to another.
The magnitude of this wealth will exceed
what most people believe is necessary to provide for their
children after they die. They will have enough wealth to take
care of loved ones and make charitable donations.
There are several ways to give to the United Way of Martin
County Foundation. Please consider some of the following and
read more about them:
-
Bequests in a will
-
Charitable gift annuities (CGA)
-
Charitable remainder trusts
-
Life insurance
-
Retirement plans (IRA Charitable Rollover)
-
Immediate gifts
-
Planned giving
