Legacy Giving
Legacy Giving with United Way of Thurston County is a great way to preserve your values, inspire others to give, and forever leave your mark on a community that has been a big part of your life. Your planned gift will help ensure that your children, their children, and your family will live in a vibrant, healthy community for years to come and that those in need will also. United Way of Thurston County friends who have made planned gifts are honored and recognized annually and in perpetuity for their thoughtful, long-lasting gifts. There are many ways to give legacy gifts.
Endowment Fund
Support United Way's Endowment Fund. Housed at The Community Foundation of South Puget Sound to support our mission and provide long-term sustainable funding to meet the needs of our community’s children, youth, families, and seniors. In addition to United Way’s Endowment Fund, we offer the Pam Toal Leadership Fund to honor Pam Toal's past executive leadership. Pam led United Way from 2001-09, refocusing our direction toward a greater community impact and ensuring positive outcomes with our grant funding.

Don't Miss Out on a Special Opportunity to Give and Save
If you are 70½ or older and own an IRA, you can make a meaningful impact in Thurston County while reducing your taxes—but you must act by December 31 to take advantage this year!
The IRA charitable rollover allows you to transfer funds directly from your IRA to United Way of Thurston County tax-free. You can give up to $105,000 this year, and your gift may count towards your required minimum distribution, lowering your taxable income.
This is a simple and powerful way to support our mission of mobilizing the caring power of our community to improve the health, education, and financial stability of every person in Thurston County. Your IRA rollover gift can help us create lasting change.
To make a difference, contact us or your IRA administrator today. Your generosity will leave an impact far beyond this holiday season!
