United Way helps people all over the world in multiple ways, championing health, education, and income stability. As a worldwide charity with many causes, there are also many ways you can donate to the organization, including the following.
1. Popmoney. Popmoney is an online service and app that offers simple and secure money transfers from one user to another with low fees. One of the quickest and easiest ways to donate, Popmoney works with over 2,400 financial institutions, including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, and Ally Bank.
2. Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a popular cryptocurrency that is not regulated by any government or banking entity. Bitcoin donations specifically go to helping United Way Worldwide’s Innovation Fund, which aims to drive the organization’s technology development and strategy, further broadening its impact.
3. Stock. With United Way’s stock donation process, you can donate appreciated securities that you have owned for over a year. The simple process requires you to contact your local United Way, which will provide you with instructions to pass on to your broker. Your broker will then initiate a broker-to-broker transfer, sending the securities to United Way.
