Planned Giving & Memorial Gifts

The United Way of the Klamath Basin accepts contributions in many forms including appreciated assets such as paintings, life insurance policies, annuities, IRAs, real estate, good working vehicles, and stock. The United Way is registered with South Valley Wealth Management to accept stock.

The United Way also encourages its loyal donors to list the United Way as one of your recipients in your will, charitable trust, or other planned giving tool/instrument.

Specific donor designated funds can also be established with as little as a $5,000 contribution. The earned income from your gift will be allocated to the social service area of the donor's choice. Donors can restrict an area of social service they would like the United Way to support or leave it to the United Way board's discretion.

For more information regarding estate planning, please contact your tax accountant, legal counsel, and Leroy Cabral at the United Way. A planned gift is a Gift that Keeps on Giving. The United Way of the Klamath Basin tax identification number is EIN #93-0441766.

The United Way also accepts Memorial Gifts of any size and will send the person you wish a special memorial card expressing your condolence and contribution to United Way on behalf of the deceased person.

The United Way received a gift of $45,000 in the form of a building from the late Merle S. West in 1972. That gift was used as the foundation to purchase United Way's current facility at 136 N. Third Street.
