IT WORKS LIKE THIS:If your annual gift is $10,000, this would involve a planned gift of at least $200,000. Twenty is used as the multiplier because it is assumed that the $200,000 would generate annual income of $10,000, the amount of your annual Tocqueville gift.

It is easy to include United Way in your will, as a beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy, retirement account or donate a new policy. Create your planned gift and help shape the future and solve problems we cannot imagine today. Be recognized as a member of the Tocqueville Legacy Circle and enable long-term community change!
