About Bequests

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support the critical work United Way for Southeastern Michigan does in our community.

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Donor Advised Fund

With a donor advised fund, you can make gifts during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

Beneficiary Designations

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support our work in the community. You can designate United Way for Southeastern Michigan as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.

Philanthropic Groups

United Way for Southeastern Michigan philanthropic groups allow our supporters to combine their giving, advocacy and volunteer efforts to make greater strides in helping our community. These committed groups create lasting change for individuals and families across our region by transforming lives today and creating a brighter tomorrow for everyone. Join our family and help us build equitable communities of stable households and thriving children throughout our region.
