United Way is working to advance the common good and with your help we can ignite a movement that is committed to creating opportunities for everyone. Through United Way, your investment will support the building blocks of better lives and stronger communites: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

We all win when a child succeeds in school, when a family becomes financially stable and when people have good health.

With your support we can achieve these goals.

Workplace payroll deduction is the easiest (and most painless!) way to give to United Way. If you are already enrolled at your workplace, thank you. If not, contact your HR department to begin investing in your community with your next paycheck.

If you prefer to make your contribution directly, you have several easy options. Through on-line banking you can easily setup a recurring investment -- set it up once and then forget it! Your financial institution will process it automatically for you. Or if you prefer, we will set-up a monthly or quarterly debit to your credit card. Click here to contact us about setting up a recurring donation on your credit card.

Of course, we can always invoice you if you want to write a check and mail it.

Although you may be able to designate all or part of your gift (click here for our designation policy), when you allow your investment to go to the Community Impact Fund you allow local volunteers on the Community Investment Committee to direct your contribution to where it is needed most.

Please consider United Way in your year-end giving plans. Give as generously as you can – a gift to United Way is 100% tax deductible! And best of all: your money stays in Glynn & McIntosh counties!

A How-To Guide for Charitable Giving

United Way understands the impact that charitable giving has on improving communities and helping individuals. United Way also understands how important it is to choose the right organization to donate your hard-earned dollars. As you prepare to make any type of charitable gift, we urge you to follow the simple guidelines below.

1. View Your Donation as an Investment.
Any gift to a charity should be seen as an investment, and you want to invest in a charity that will make a major impact on its recipients while also giving you personal satisfaction. An investment approach to a particular group or cause will ensure a more meaningful experience for you.

2. Do Your Homework.
When selecting where to give, it is important to gather all the facts. Conducting thorough research prior to giving will help you separate legitimate charities from frauds, as well as reassure you that your donation is truly helping those who need it most. To avoid fraudulent charities, make sure your chosen charity doesn’t engage in any of the following activities:

Asking for cash donations
Sending mail appeals disguised as bills or invoices
Offering very little or no information on actual day-to-day operations
Pressuring you to give

3. Understand the Tax Benefits of Giving.
An added benefit to giving is that most charitable donations are tax-deductible. To receive a tax deduction, you will need the proper documentation when filing your income tax returns. The IRS requires a receipt for each tax-deductible contribution of $250 or more. Depending on the amount or type of your gift, you may need to provide additional documents with your tax form, such as Form 8283 for each non-cash donation exceeding $500.

4. Decide How You Will Give and How Much.
Financial donations are the most popular charitable gifts, but there are other ways to help your favorite cause. Many organizations will accept property and goods, as well as your time. There are many options on how to give, including donating directly online, by mail, through payroll deduction or through a donor-advised fund. Additionally, find out if your employer will match your charitable gift. This will even further maximize your investment.

5. Track Your Donations.
Once you have made your gift, mark your calendar with important dates of your charity’s meetings and key events for the year. These are excellent ways to see your investment at work. Also, be sure to track the dates and amounts you gave payment methods and desired uses for your gift. You should automatically receive a receipt with an acknowledgement of your gift. If you don’t, be sure to follow up. Don’t rely on a cancelled check to count as a receipt.
