Planned Giving

Retirement Plans

Your retirement fund can be taxed up to 80% if passed on to heirs, yet it's tax-free to charity!

How it works: Pikes Peak United Way receives all or a portion of the remainder of your retirement plan to use for program funding or a purpose you designate. You leave less-taxed assets to your family.

How to make the gift: Name PPUW as the recipient of all or a portion of the remainder of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan. The balance in your plan will be passed to PPUW after your death.

Benefits to you:

• Avoid the double-taxation your retirement savings would face if you designate them to your heirs
• Continue to take regular lifetime withdrawals
• You have the flexibility to change beneficiaries if your family's needs change during your lifetime

Other Planned Giving Options:

• Wills
• Life Insurance
• Appreciated Stock
• Other Ways to Give
• Planned Giving Home
