Workplace
Giving
United Way raises a majority of its dollars through
workplace giving. We ask people to contribute a small portion
of each paycheck, which may be deducted every pay period and sent
to United Way. Many companies already have a United Way payroll
plan. Please contact us if you want help getting this set up at
your company:
info@unitedwaygorge.org
We are always
happy to speak with HR people on your behalf, and to come in and
make presentations.
Matching
Gift
Increase your gift to United Way with the help of your employer.
Many companies match employee contributions. Your contribution
would have an even greater impact on children and families in
our community. Check with your employer!

for our annual fundraising events. Items and services, large and

Volunteering your time and talent with a local charitable

is a magnificent way to help people in need. Please contact us

Planned
Giving
Gifts of real estate, securities, life insurance, personal
property and life income trusts are of great value and highly
appreciated. This is an ideal form of giving for those who wish
to pass along a portion of their assets to United Way for the
benefit of our community.

Donate
in Honor
Make a donation in honor of that special someone
in your life.
A great gift for someone who has everything. Instead of giving
another sweater or tie that will only sit in a drawer, why not
gift that special someone a donation to United Way in their name!
They’ll appreciate your creative humanitarianism and you’ll
be helping others less fortunate have a brighter life.
Also perfect
in remembrance of someone special. Help make a difference - the
United Way!
