2008 marks the 75th anniversary of United Way in our region. To commemorate this milestone, we are offering a way for people to create a personal legacy of improving lives for generations. In addition to your gift to the annual United Way campaign, please consider a one-time gift to the new United Way Endowment, to ensure the ongoing well-being of our community.
The Endowment will:
- Provide resources for a quick and effective response to unexpected crisis in our region.
- Stabilize human care services at times when resources are less available, such as during an economic downturn.
- Serve as a source of revenue to fund emerging needs.
Any size gift to the Endowment is welcome and sincerely appreciated. However, those who contribute $2,500 and above in 2008 will be recognized forever in United Way Endowment materials:
- Gifts of $2,500 or more to the Endowment will be recognized forever on the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago website as United Way Legacy Society members.
- Gifts of $25,000 or more to the Endowment will be recognized forever on a public Endowment Founders Wall, in all future Endowment collateral materials, on the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago website and in our permanent electronic United Way Legacy Society listing.
For more information or to request a comprehensive brochure about the Endowment, please contact Beth Curtis at (312) 906-2457.
