As 2022 starts, Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) is excited for all that we have in store for the New Year. From busting common myths about hearing loss to providing money to researchers working on the entire spectrum of hearing and balance research, there’s a lot our supporters have helped us with in 2021.
Tax Tips for the End of the Year
Your charitable gift to Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) can save you money in taxes—especially before the end of this year when adjustments to the tax law in 2022 can decrease how much you save. Because of changes in 2022, your taxes may be reduced if you make a cash gift to HHF before December 31, 2021.
