Since the early 1990’s, the United Services Board of Directors has reviewed options that would ensure the long term financial viability of the agency. With such a large percentage of support coming from taxpayer based entities (Developmental Disabilities Resource Board and the local school districts), the Board felt the need to explore options that would allow for the continuation of services if any other revenue source was compromised or eliminated.

In March 2001, as part of their strategic planning process, the Board included the development of a planned giving program. This plan would ensure the children of St. Charles County would always have the opportunity to develop their abilities to their maximum potential through the therapeutic and educational support offered at United Services.

The planned giving process matches your needs with a specific giving tool. A planned gift is any gift that is designed or structured in connection with your individual tax and estate planning goals.

Gifts to the Endowment for United Services may be either restricted or unrestricted. You designate restricted gifts
for a specific purpose. Unrestricted gifts can be allocated at the discretion of the Endowment Board of Directors for general support of the agency’s operations.

Through your gift to the Endowment for United Services, you can help ensure the long term viability of this agency.
