Benefits of Planned Giving
Planned giving is a meaningful way to support United Services’ mission to strengthen the health, safety, and well-being of individuals and families throughout northeastern Connecticut, now and for generations to come.
By including United Services in your estate or long-term financial plans, you help ensure continued access to essential mental health, addiction recovery, domestic violence, and family support services for people across our region when they need it most.
Planned gifts provide long-term financial stability that allows our organization to:
- Sustain and grow critical community-based programs
- Respond to emerging mental health and social service needs
- Invest in innovative, evidence-based care
- Ensure services remain accessible regardless of ability to pay
Planned Giving Options
Bequests
One of the simplest ways to give. A bequest allows you to name United Services in your will or living trust by designating a specific amount, percentage, or remainder of your estate.
Beneficiary Designations
You may name United Services as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial asset.
Charitable Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts or charitable lead trusts can provide income for you or your loved ones while supporting United Services’ programs in Eastern Connecticut.
Other Planned Gifts
Planned gifts may also include appreciated assets, real estate, or other arrangements that align with your philanthropic intentions.
Gifts of all sizes make a difference and are deeply appreciated.
How to Make a Planned Gift

We recognize that planned giving is a personal decision. United Services is committed to honoring your wishes, respecting your privacy, and stewarding your gift responsibly in support of our mission.
We encourage you to consult with your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional as you explore planned giving options.
