Thank you for considering to use your generosity to secure the longevity of our community!
A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated for a future date. Commonly donated through a will or trust, planned gifts are most often granted once the donor has passed away. From a fiscal perspective, the tax breaks are a significant advantage to making a planned giving arrangement. A planned gift can also ensure donors have the opportunity to determine exactly how their money should be spent within the United Way of Rockbridge organization. Many donors would prefer to give major gifts during their lifetime but don’t have the financial flexibility to do so. Planned giving allows donors to give those large gifts after they have passed away, when life's challenges won’t interfere.
