Power Your Philanthropy with Tax-Savvy Giving Strategies
When you donate to United Way, you help kids succeed. You help adults secure jobs. You help families become healthier. Your support fuels our mission and creates a stronger Clallam County where we can all thrive.
Maximize your philanthropic goals by making a planned gift through appreciated or complex assets like stock, real estate, or a donor-advised fund. In this way, you’re not just supporting United Way of Clallam County’s mission—you’re creating a lasting legacy that’s often smarter and more tax-efficient than cash gifts alone. Asset-based giving can reduce your capital gains, increase your charitable deduction, and, in some cases, eliminate taxable income entirely—all while fueling bold, life-changing impact across our region.
You can give up to 20% more to your favorite charities through appreciating assets—all while minimizing your capital gains. You’ll take a fair market value deduction and provide more support for local nonprofits.
