A Century In Central Maryland
United We Innovate
Our Board-endorsed recognition guidelines for Tocqueville Society membership have been in effect since July 1, 2024. Members make a minimum investment of $5,000 in United Way as part of their annual total donation of $10,000 or more.*
While we still accept donations to other nonprofits, recognition in the Tocqueville Society extends exclusively to those who make an annual minimum direct investment of $5,000 in United Way of Central Maryland’s work—including unrestricted, specific programs, or jurisdiction designations each year.
Direct investment in United Way is powerful evidence of your partnership and commitment, which makes our direct service work possible.

Tax-Advantaged Giving
Income tax laws encourage contributions to public charities like United Way by providing— within the tax code—income tax deductions for donors who itemize their federal tax returns.
Donors can make gifts at reduced costs. For example, if you make a cash contribution of $10,000 to United Way, you may claim a deduction of $10,000 on your income tax return. In this scenario, if you are in the 37% marginal income tax bracket, you will reduce your overall federal tax liability by $3,700.* In effect, you can give United Way $10,000 at a cost to you of $6,300.
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED STOCK
If your gift was in appreciated stock as shown in the chart, with a cost basis of $3,000 (therefore a gain of $7,000), the cost to you would still be $6,300, which is more advantageous to you than selling the stock directly and paying the capital gains tax.
Comparison of Tax Savings From Three Gifts of $10,000
Assumes a $3,000 cost basis on gifted stock (therefore a gain of $7,000)
RETIREMENT ACCOUNT TAX-ADVANTAGED GIVING
Donors might consider contributing to United Way via a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). This move allows IRA owners age 70½ or older to directly transfer up to $100,000 to charity each year. The QCD can count as some or all of the owner’s Required Minimum Distribution— the QCD amount won’t be included in adjusted gross income. Whether from a 401(k), 403(b), or an IRA, the distribution is tax-free and must be paid directly to United Way from the account and cannot be first distributed to you. You should consult with your accountant or tax advisor for further direction on a QCD.
Financial Report
United Way of Central Maryland, as a federation, honors designations made to each member organization by distributing receipts based on donor designations to each member, and as fiscal agent, to other nonprofit organizations. United Way does not charge membership or application fees to any agency in order to receive such designations.
Full financial statements are available by contacting United Way of Central Maryland at 410-547-8000.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Planned Giving
Writing the Next Chapter of Impact with Planned Giving
For 100 years, United Way of Central Maryland has been at the heart of meaningful, lasting change in our community—driving opportunity, equity, and stability for individuals and families across our region. This historic milestone marks not just a century of service but the beginning of our next chapter.
We invite you to deepen your impact by considering leaving your legacy with United Way through a planned gift. Planned giving is a powerful way to align your legacy with your values. Whether through a bequest in your will, a charitable trust, or naming United Way as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance, your gift becomes a cornerstone of our future work. It provides sustainable resources to meet emerging needs, respond to crises, and create equitable solutions for decades to come.
Let your legacy be the light that guides the century ahead.
To learn more about planned giving at United Way, contact Dan Mangiavellano at dan.mangiavellano@uwcm.org or Amritha Mohandas at amritha.mohandas@uwcm.org.

CONVENIENT ENDOWMENT DONATION OPTIONS OPEN TO ALL DONORS
Many endowment gift options require no immediate cash outlay, provide significant tax advantages, and can generate income for the donor. Endowment gifts may be in the current form —including cash, marketable securities, or real estate—or in deferred form—including trusts, life insurance, retirement plan beneficiary designations, will bequests, or annuities. Regardless of gift size, we’re honored to recognize donors when the gift commitment is made.

Tocqueville Society Membership Yearbook
Alexis de Tocqueville admired three elements in North American society: liberty, equality, and the spirit of neighbors helping neighbors. Special orders of donor recognition have been crafted by United Way Worldwide to reflect the principles Tocqueville held dear. Each order distinguishes a member’s level of giving.

Tocqueville Spotlight
Kelly & Brian Pieninck
Strong communities are built when people have access to healthcare, stable housing, economic opportunity, and quality education. United Way of Central Maryland helps make that possible, and we’re proud to invest in their work. As a family and through CareFirst, we believe in showing up where we’re needed most. UWCM is a trusted partner in helping us do exactly that—meeting people where they are and making a real difference across central Maryland.
Brian & Ericka Crowell
Ericka and I are dedicated supporters of United Way of Central Maryland. Our involvement has naturally led us to advocate for the many impactful programs the organization offers that serve and uplift our communities. We strive to instill the value of philanthropy in our children, Kameron and Arianna. It is important to us that they understand the significance of giving back and recognize the positive impact United Way has in our communities.
Fran Gunther Minges
I’ve been an enthusiastic UWCM supporter since the 1970s when my parents, Frank and Mary Ellen Gunther, became the first husband and wife team to chair the annual campaign. Their theme, “People Helping People,” resonates to this day in the work of UWCM. I proudly give an undesignated gift directly to United Way so my dollars can help provide a basic family safety net and fund the communitybuilding necessary to lift Baltimoreans out of poverty.
Tocqueville Spotlight
Amy & Justin Seto
We came to Maryland with hope and determination, and it welcomed us with opportunity and community. For over 30 years we’ve built our lives here, and we’re proud to give back through United Way of Central Maryland as Tocqueville Society members. Supporting their work with undesignated gifts is our way of honoring the place that embraced us and helping others find their footing, just as we did.
Tamla Olivier
I truly appreciate the partnership between BGE and the United Way. Together, we have been able to provide critical resources to those in need. One example is the work done by UWCM to facilitate BGE’s Customer Relief Fund and quickly disbursed $15 million in bill support to customers. This collaboration fosters a spirit of giving and also creates a lasting impact that uplifts individuals and strengthens our entire community.
Chuck & Maria Tildon
As lifelong Baltimoreans, Chuck and I are proud to support the United Way of Central Maryland and their commitment to creating lasting change in Baltimore and beyond. Whether it’s helping families find stable housing, supporting education, or ensuring access to vital resources, the United Way of Central Maryland has consistently stepped up to create opportunities for communities and families to thrive. We are honored to support this amazing and rich legacy.

Routes to Opportunity Breaking Down Transportation Barriers in Central Maryland
Getting to school, getting to work, getting ahead—for many Maryland families, these simple goals are out of reach due to a lack of reliable and affordable transportation options.
These service gaps are not just an inconvenience—they stifle career advancement, disrupt school attendance, and limit access to critical resources and services. For many, the cost of an unreliable commute is more than lost time, it’s lost income and lost opportunity.
United Way provides free transportation for studentparents and their children to its Family Centers in Brooklyn and Poppleton. In 2025, United Way donors and community partners raised nearly $150,000 to fund a shuttle for the Columbia Family Center, working towards a future where transportation drives families forward rather than holding them back.
Marylanders who rely on public transportation face daily struggles:
When Hard Work is Hardly Enough
What shared challenges do retail salespeople, factory workers, and childcare providers struggle with?
Hardworking Marylanders are the engine that keeps local businesses running smoothly—yet many continue to struggle to make ends meet. This is the reality for nearly one million Maryland households living as ALICE: Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, and Employed. They are working hard but still can’t afford life’s essentials like food, housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation.
One emergency can spell disaster for ALICE households. Each day, people whose earnings can’t keep pace with the rising cost of living are forced to make impossible decisions—“Do I pay rent or buy groceries?”
United Way offers more than 30 programs and initiatives that increase access to education, housing, health, education, and economic advancement, to help Marylanders build a healthy and secure future for themselves and their families.
Nearly 1 in 3 Maryland households (39%) can’t afford necessities.
Young Men United Young Men United for Opportunity
In 2022, United Way of Central Maryland launched Young Men United (YMU) to break down educational and economic barriers for young men of color in Baltimore City schools. Today, the program is building a thriving community of young leaders by giving these young men the tools, resources, and support systems they need to succeed—shaping a brighter future for all.
Young Men United opens doors by helping students complete high school, pursue higher education or job training, and enter the workforce with a meaningful career. Thanks to donations, United Way staff support participants throughout their journeys, connecting them and their families with critical resources like housing and food assistance, counseling services, financial literacy, and more.
In the Greater Baltimore area, Black men have the lowest national four-year college completion rate of all groups and are the most likely to leave without a degree.
“It’s very good to not have to bear all that weight on your shoulders and have people you can rely on. I look at these great men around me…I want to be where they’re at one day. It’s very good motivation for what I want to do in life.”
