Can I donate over the phone?

For questions on donating over the phone, please call us at 202.488.2038. We strongly encourage donating through our online portal as it is safe, secure and quick.

Can I give a gift from my IRA?

Yes. The IRA charitable rollover is a great way for you to make a gift to support United Way of the National Capital Area. The IRA rollover allows donors 70.5 years or older to transfer up to $100,000 directly from their IRA to United Way NCA on an annual basis. An IRA rollover gift is a tax-exempt distribution. Qualifying individuals can make charitable gifts using pre-tax IRA assets rather than taking a distribution, paying income taxes and using after tax assets to make a charitable gift. An IRA rollover gift can be used to meet all or part of an IRA’s annual required minimum distribution. Learn more at unitedwaynca.org/take-action/donate/planned-giving.

Can I cancel my recurring donation?

Yes, to cancel your recurring donation, please contact us at 202.488.2038 or email philanthropy@uwnca.org.
