United Way Foundation

Established in 1992 with a bequest of $750,000 from Helen L. Curry in memory of her husband Oscar H. Curry, the United Way Foundation of Indian River County allows donors to provide for United Way's future through bequests and other planned gifts or perpetuate their annual giving. The vision and leadership of these donors ensures that United Way can continue, during and beyond their lifetimes, to address urgent human care needs in our community which cannot solely be met through campaign funds.

Whereas the annual campaign provides support for critical health and human services each year, the United Way Foundation is designed to respond to emerging or emergency needs, provide support for capital projects that enhance the delivery of services, serve as a source of funding for special initiatives, and sustain United Way’s work in our community for years to come. While both are important to furthering United Way’s mission, your generous gift to United Way’s annual campaign impacts lives today. Your investment in the Foundation impacts lives forever.

Please consider a legacy gift to the United Way Foundation by including us in your will or estate plan. For more information, please contact Michelle Herbold at 567-8900 or via email at michelle.herbold@unitedwayirc.org
