Chester County United Way is proud to have served our residents for over 75 years. You can help ensure that we will continue to do this for many years to come through a variety of ways such as gifts of stock, IRA Rollovers, Donor Advised Fund distributions, and Planned Gifts.
Gifts of this type may yield significant tax benefits. Please consult with your tax advisor.
