Lifetime Gifts Matter
United Way of Midland’s commitment to care for our community continues far beyond the needs of this year or this generation. An endowed or planned gift to United Way is an investment in our future. Planned gifts assure that we will continue making Midland strong and healthy for our children and our grandchildren. Your generosity to future generations can also benefit you and your family. Most planned gifts result in immediate tax deductions, estate tax savings and some result in investment income for the donor. But most importantly, your gift ensures that your compassion makes a difference today and extends beyond tomorrow.

Alexis De Tocqueville Society of Midland
Tocqueville Society members are exceptional individuals who share significant resources that help implement United Way’s coordinated response to community needs.

This philanthropic group was named by United Way of America for the Frenchman Alexis Charles Henri Maurice Clérel de Tocqueville, who critiqued our country’s evolving political and social structure in Democracy in America (1835 and 1840) and declared himself most impressed with Americans’ generosity.

In 2010, the ADT Society of Midland had 47 Members.
