As we observe Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. It is a day of reflection, gratitude, and national unity—and at UI Charitable, it is also a time to reaffirm our commitment to those who have served and the families they’ve left behind.
Philanthropy plays a vital role in supporting the veteran community. From housing and healthcare to mental health and career readiness, veterans’ organizations across the country are working tirelessly to meet the needs of those who served. And we are proud to stand with them.
🎖️ How Donors Are Making a Difference
Through Donor-Advised Funds at UI Charitable, donors are empowering impactful organizations that:
Provide mental health support and trauma recovery for combat veterans
Offer job training and entrepreneurship programs for transitioning service members
Deliver emergency financial assistance to military families in crisis
Create inclusive community spaces where veterans can connect and heal
These grants represent more than financial gifts—they represent respect, remembrance, and long-term commitment.
🛠️ Supporting Veterans with Strategic Giving
Veteran-focused philanthropy often includes:
Multi-year grants to ensure stability for long-term programs
Unrestricted funding that allows organizations to respond flexibly to evolving needs
Recoverable grants and impact investments that support veteran-owned businesses
Our team works directly with donors to align their giving goals with high-impact nonprofits serving the veteran community nationwide.
🌟 Why Memorial Day Matters to Us
For many of our donors, Memorial Day is deeply personal. It is a time to reflect on loved ones lost in service—and to honor their memory through purposeful action.
Whether it is naming a veterans’ organization as a beneficiary of a Donor-Advised Fund, starting a memorial fund, or making an annual gift each May, we have seen firsthand how generosity can become a powerful expression of gratitude.

As we mark this solemn holiday, UI Charitable stands with all those remembering a fallen soldier, supporting a military family, or striving to make life better for veterans.
To our donors, advisors, and nonprofit partners: thank you for making this work possible. Your support is a living legacy—one that honors the past and invests in the future of those who served.
