How a gift and bequest works

You can make a gift to support our work this year by contacting us or visiting our website. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County Foundation, Inc. as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.

Contact us

If you have any questions about making a gift and bequest, please contact us. We would be happy to assist you and answer your questions.

Gift acceptance is governed by United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County's Board and donors are encouraged to reach out to staff to discuss their planned gift before making arrangements.
