We will be know by the tracks we leave behind
With your annual gift, you share your income.
With a Planned Gift, your share your assets: now...or in the future.
"What do I want to achieve with my assets?"
You have set aside funds to maintain your lifestyle and have provided for the goals of your children. Find out how can you reach your philanthropic goals through Completed Gifts.
If you are unsure about the costs of your future needs, you may want to consider Revocable Gifts to reach you philanthropic goals.

Ray Ziler has made UWCNM a beneficiary of his IRA.
IRA's are one type of Revocable Gift that can be used to give to United Way of Central New Mexico from what is left after your other needs are met.
"What will my legacy be?"
If you would like to contiue to support the needs that your annual gift supports FOREVER, or if you would like your values to be remembered by your loved ones or future generations, consider planning your Legacy Endowment through UWCNM.

John and Carol Mayo Cochran have arranged to continue their annual giving FOREVER through their ENDOWMENT at United Way of Central New Mexico.

The C. Herman and Emily F. Mauney Alexis de Tocqueville Legacy Society Endowment will continue an annual gift forever.
