Strategic giving can help you reduce your tax bill while fueling scientific discoveries toward better treatments and cures for hearing loss, tinnitus, and related hearing and balance conditions.
Whether you’re donating through your IRA, gifting appreciated stock, or using a donor-advised fund, your contribution to Hearing Health Foundation can make a meaningful difference.
Here’s how you can align your charitable giving with your financial goals:
An IRA charitable rollover allows those 70 1/2 and older to donate from their IRA without claiming the distribution as taxable income. You’re able to satisfy your required minimum distribution while supporting HHF.
When you donate appreciated stock and other securities directly to HHF, you avoid paying any capital gains and have your gift count toward your 2023 taxes. In fact it’s a triple win—you can meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to a mission you believe in.
When using your donor-advised fund (DAF), you can enable strategic giving over time for causes you believe in, such as HHF, with immediate tax deductions when you set up or pay into an existing fund.
Your gift has the power to change lives through groundbreaking research while also potentially cutting your tax bill. The pace of scientific discoveries is directly linked to the investment funds received.
We are also pleased to accept donations of crypto through our partner Pledge.to.
