Improving lives locally starts with you, and the opportunities to show your local love are endless. Our communities count on the generosity of individuals to improve lives and strengthen Saint John, Kings, and Charlotte. Did you know you can donate monthly or one-time by credit card, direct debit, and even shares. Make giving part of your monthly routine! Give us a call 506-658-1212 and we can set you up. You can also donate online.
Donating securities, especially those with significant capital gains, is a tax efficient way to donate. The gains accrued at the time of the donation are not taxed to the donor. The donor receives tax credit for the full fair market value of the securities donated, and the United Way receives the full value. For example, if you donate shares purchased for $500 that are now worth $5,000, you would not be taxed on the $4,500 capital gain and the United Way would receive a charitable gift for the full $5,000.

To donate securities, please fill out the following form and submit to United Way by email.

The United Way is the charity of choice for thousands throughout their career and into retirement. You can continue to make a difference and leave a legacy with United Way. A bequest is simple and straightforward. By including United Way in your will, you can create a lasting legacy to perpetuate your tradition of annual gifts to support your community. We are happy to work with you to determine how to optimize your gift in advance or these decisions can be made at the time of the gift, based on the community’s greatest need at that time.
Gifts of a specific cash amount or asset or a percentage of the remaining estate are popular bequest choices. Your estate receives a donation receipt for the value of your gift, providing a tax credit.
