United Way is making a real difference in the lives of real people in Douglas & Pope Counties.

By focusing our community's resources on the most pressing needs, we are able to provide solutions and make a lasting impact.

Your contribution, no matter how great or small, makes a difference.

Four easy steps to help define and create your legacy:

1. Reflect on your life values

Think about what’s been important in your life and what kind of legacy you want to leave

2. Contact your favorite nonprofit

organization

Talk to them about how your planned gift as a part of a will would benefit their work.

3. Evaluate your finances

Consult a professional such as an attorney, an accountant, or a financial advisor. They can explain tax advantages and help you set up a gift to meet your goals. Remember, almost everyone has the capacity to leave a legacy.

4. Take action

Work with a professional advisor to put your plans into place to reflect your values. Write or review your will, estate plan, insurance beneficiaries, IRA or asset titles.
