Diversify United Way Revenue: Explore Planned Giving and Freewill
Thank you to those who were able to join us for this important discussion about how you can continue diversifying revenue at your United Way by activating or improving planned giving as a source of funding. A special thanks to Evelyn Morgner and Jane Pinsky from United Way Worldwide, for leading our discussion and sharing such helpful information, advice, and resources.
Here is the link to the recording, and the slide deck is attached in case you missed the call (see below and attached). We discussed various giving options—such as bequests, charitable trusts, life insurance, and IRA distributions—and ways to put these into practice, whether at a small or large United Way. We strongly recommend you take a listen and use any applicable advice to increase your United Way’s revenue!
