Nonprofits: The Economic Engine Behind Stronger Communities
Nonprofits give more than they get.
Often misunderstood as organizations that merely request handouts, they really are powerful engines of economic value that create lasting change and vital support for individuals and communities. The United Way of Greater McHenry County (UWGMC) is prime example, working tirelessly to improve lives and strengthen the systems that benefit us all.
Maximize your impact!
The United Way of Greater McHenry County brings people and resources together to tackle our community’s toughest challenges. Initiating Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) is a powerful strategy that can reduce the amount of federal income tax you pay each year, while multiplying your impact on your community. Some or all of your required minimum distributions (RMDs) from traditional IRAs can be met with a QCD to the United Way of Greater McHenry County.
