An annual contribution to United Way of
Metropolitan Tarrant County helps to solve the community's
most pressing problems. United Way also has established
the United Way Legacy Fund as a component fund of the
Community Foundation of North Texas. Bequests and other
contributions to the Legacy Fund made by United Way donors
make up the fund, which is administered by the Fort
Worth-based Community Foundation of North Texas.
Distributions from the Legacy Fund are used for
the charitable purposes of United Way. The Community
Foundation's Board of Directors is assisted in making
distribution, investment and other decisions concerning
the Legacy Fund by the United Way Legacy Board. Contact
Benton Clark at 817-258-8010 for more information about
making a contribution to United Way's Legacy Fund.
You may be interested to know that
there are ways to make charitable gifts that benefit the
donor as well as the community. If you are interested in
furthering United Way's mission while reducing taxes and
possibly increasing your income, you may wish to consider
making a planned gift.
There are several ways for you to make contributions through a
planned gift.
• Include the United
Way of Metropolitan Tarrant County in your will or trust.
• Contribute
appreciated stock you have held for at least a year to
fund a charitable
gift
annuity or a charitable remainder trust, either of which will
provide you an income for life.
• Contribute your personal residence and retain
its use for life.
• Include the United Way of
Metropolitan Tarrant County as the beneficiary of a
life insurance
policy or your IRA plan.
Gifts such as these may reduce your current income tax or
future estate taxes and allow you to make a lasting impact on our community.
