This is a powerful change that underlines our unique role as one of the few public charities in America that offers both donor-advised funds and fiscally sponsored programs on a national level. This name change signifies that we are united in working toward a singular goal—to provide the most effective and efficient platform for your charitable work. WE ARE UNITED in Vision Our board of directors, staff and partners are united in a vision in which every person, no matter what stage in life they find themselves, can give something to enrich the life of another in their community or across the globe. This idea sums up what we do every day at United Charitable, and is the basis for our name change. United Charitable unites multiple aspects of philanthropy in ways no one else can: whether it’s through actually DOING charitable work by creating a fiscally sponsored program based on your vision, or by GIVING to others to fulfill a charitable mission through a donor-advised fund. We offer both—with no minimums and virtually no limitations. 2 W E A R E U N I T E D | U N I T E D C H A R I TA B L E . O R G WE ARE UNITED in Charitable Giving We are united with donors who wish to make a philanthropic impact on their community, address a national need, or help resolve a global issue. A United Charitable donor-advised fund amplifies your impact by allowing you to grow your fund over time, engage your family or others in your mission, and plan how you interact with your chosen beneficiary organizations. Please be sure to read the mission statements of our more than 200 donor-advised funds, which can be found on Pages 17–26.

We provide resources for fundraising, grant procurement, and efficient management of your charitable vision.

Please read about these awe-inspiring programs on Pages 29–48 and share our excitement for their good work. WE ARE UNITED with You By uniting with other philanthropically minded people, United Charitable will continue to increase the number of people you can positively impact as you establish and grow your charitable vision.

You’re creating a legacy. What is a Donor-Advised Fund? A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable fund established by an individual, family, or business under the care and aministration of United Charitable, a public charity. As an alternative to a private foundation, a donor-advised fund allows you to create a charitable legacy now and for generations to come. United Charitable offers donor-advised funds as a flexible way for you to manage your charitable giving, creating an enduring legacy with maximum social impact. How Does it Work? The donor establishes a fund at United Charitable with the name of their choosing (e.g., The John and Jane Smith Family Foundation, or the ACME Giving Fund). You can even memorialize a loved one when naming your DAF (e.g., The Jane Doe Cancer Foundation). Anyone can make tax-deductible donations to United Charitable for the DAF. The donor can then recommend grant disbursements from the DAF to other existing charities (and/or for scholarship programs) that United Charitable approves. 6 W E A R E U N I T E D | U N I T E D C H A R I TA B L E . O R G How a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Works Make a tax-deductible donation to United Charitable to establish your DAF. You can donate a variety of assets including cash, appreciated stocks, property, etc. Once the DAF reaches $25,000, you can work with your own financial advisor to invest those contributions (subject to United Charitable approval). At any time, you can recommend grants to the charities and causes that you, your family, or your organization want to support, building your charitable legacy!

She recognized that women often express a need to feel supported in order to excel. With vast experience in the corporate world, and a deep-rooted passion for building stronger communities, Sheila created the Women Building & Investing in Success (WBIS) NetGiving Foundation at United Charitable. “Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I was going to do something that would advance women,” Sheila said. “I want all women to know that you don’t have to be an executive—we’re already categorized enough. We are all talented. We are all gifted. So why not pull all of our gifts together, and help one another excel.” A donor-advised fund at United Charitable means more Giving, less Work Researching her options, Sheila realized that she would become overwhelmed by the requirements of running her own nonprofit, and the expense of establishing a private foundation was cost-prohibitive. She determined that creating a donor-advised fund (DAF) at United Charitable was the best option. 14 W E A R E U N I T E D | U N I T E D C H A R I TA B L E .
