Ways to Give

Payroll Deduction
If your company runs a United Way campaign, you have the opportunity to make a pledge through payroll deduction. Payroll deduction is an easy way to make a large impact, by spreading your gift throughout the year. You may direct pledge your pledge in several ways. The choice is yours:
  1. The Community Fund - Informed volunteers who understand the critical human service needs of the community ensure your gift is efficiently and effectively distributed.
  2. Areas of Care - Your gift is directed to one of our areas of care:
    Nurturing Children and Youth
    Strengthening Families and Children
    Promoting Health and Healing
    Assisting People through Crisis
    Fostering Independence for Seniors
    Solving Community Problems
  3. Specific Agency - Your gift is directed to a United Way member agency or another United Way.

A Direct Gift to United Way
More of us than ever are working for small companies or for ourselves. If you would like to make an individual gift to your community through United Way, you may do so by contacting us for more information. When you make a direct gift, you may choose to give through The Community Fund, Targeted Care Areas, and/or Specific Agencies.

Online Donations
You may also make donations to United Way of Aiken County online by clicking on our donate feature located on the main page of the website.

Planned Giving
Meet your financial goals while supporting causes you care about. Would you like to make a contribution that maximizes your tax deduction and does the most good? When you give a gift of securities, you avoid capital gains taxes and brokerage fees. Plus, you can deduct the present value of the securities – not just what you paid. That means more help for people in need, and a bigger savings for you. Please see the Planned Giving page for details.

In-Kind Donations
Want to make a donation of food, clothing, books, furniture, services or other items? Have a talent you'd like to share? Don't know where to begin looking for an agency that can use your gifts? Please contact us and we'll help you put them to good use!

Leadership Giving
When you make a gift over a certain level, you can choose to participate in one of our Leadership Giving Programs. Please see the Leadership Giving page for more information.
