Many of our donors have given to this community through United Way for decades. If you are one of them, thank you. Clearly, you care about Southeast Missouri and the people who live here. We need you to continue to strengthen this region and help our neighbors for future generations. There are many ways you can give that will help us and may help you and your heirs. You can:

• Share a share: Give a gift of appreciated stock and you might reduce or remove the capital gains tax.
• Give from your IRA: If you are 70 1/2 or older you can donate the funds you are required by law to withdraw from your IRA and make a tax-free Qualified Charitable Distribution to UWSEMO.  
• Create a will: United Way has partnered with FreeWill to provide our community with a free online tool to create a  legal will. It’s an easy, free, and virtual way to complete your will, while at the same time creating a lasting  legacy.

To explore any of these giving options, contact Mark Stone, Director of Market Development
