Planned Giving

Through a planned gift, you can have a meaningful, long-term impact on HHF’s future. Below are the three most common, and simplest, ways to make a planned gift: All planned giving donors will be recognized as members of the Collette Ramsey Baker Society, unless anonymity is requested.

Bequest:

A bequest from either a will or living trust lets you pass any amount you wish to HHF free of estate tax. You can give cash, a percentage of your estate, or a percentage of a specific asset, with restrictions or without. Because bequests do not come to HHF until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at any time. Individuals can leave a legacy without giving up assets today.

  • If you would like to remember HHF in your will, here is sample language: “I bequeath (%) or ($) or (Specific Asset) of my estate to Hearing Health Foundation (Tax ID: 13-1882107) with a principal address of PO Box 1397, New York, NY 10018.”

  • Don’t have a will? HHF is delighted to help you create your legal will through a service called FreeWill. It's legally valid, 100% free to you, and most people finish in 20 minutes or less.

Beneficiary Designation of a Retirement Fund:

Most retirement plan assets are costly for heirs to inherit, because they may face double taxation. Qualified retirement plan funds may be designated to HHF tax-free. These gifts are simple to complete, requiring only a beneficiary designation form that can be obtained from your plan administrator

Beneficiary Designation of a Life Insurance Policy:

You can designate HHF as a partial or full beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy and, as a result, make a considerably larger gift than you thought possible — larger than if you were to donate the cash equivalent of the policy’s premiums.

Questions? Please email plannedgiving@hhf.org.

 

 

Monthly Sustained Giving

“Scientists must receive continuous funding for their efforts. Research is not effective when it happens in fits and starts. It will take several years of hard work to find a safe and effective way to promote lasting recovery of hearing in humans.” 
—HHF-funded scientist Jennifer Stone, Ph.D.

Monthly giving is an easy way to support our science consistently throughout the year. This gives HHF a reliable source of funding for our research and prevention programs. When you become a monthly sustaining Research Pioneer, your credit or debit card will automatically be billed each month until you say otherwise, saving time, money, and resources.

To contribute on a regular basis, please fill out the online donation form here. You can also donate using our print donation form here.

 

 

Tribute or Memorial Gifts

You can support hearing loss research while making a meaningful gift in memory of someone special or in celebration of a loved one’s special occasion, such as a birthday, bar mitzvah, wedding, or anniversary.

We can create a custom online donation page with a personalized link that contains a photo and information about the person being honored, as well as a unique QR code. We can also design and supply a printable PDF and envelopes for distribution, and upon request we can send a card acknowledging your gift, too. Please email give@hhf.org for more information.

Tribute or memorial gifts can be made online or by check to:

Hearing Health Foundation
PO Box 1397
New York, NY 10018

 

 

Gifts of Stock

There are many advantages to making a donation of appreciated stock or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to Hearing Health Foundation. You receive a charitable tax deduction for the full value and avoid having to pay capital gains on taxes. Most importantly, your gift makes a lasting and important impact to help the millions of people who live with hearing loss.

If you are interested in making a gift of stock or ETF, please email give@hhf.org for instructions or use the information below. Please include your name, contact information, name of company stock, and number of shares so that we may thank you and send you a gift tax acknowledgement.

IRA Charitable Rollover/Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

You can give a gift from your individual retirement account (IRA) directly to a qualified charity such as HHF without having to pay income taxes on the money. This gift option is called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and is also known as an IRA charitable rollover. Individuals age 70 1/2 and older can give to charities without counting the distribution as income. It is a smart way to make a high-impact gift to HHF while saving on your taxes.

To make a donation from your IRA, contact your IRA administrator to arrange a direct transfer from your account to HHF.

Your IRA administrator can also send the funds by a check made payable to Hearing Health Foundation and mailed to:

Hearing Health Foundation
PO Box 1397
New York, NY 10018

HHF’s Tax ID is 13-1882107.

 

 

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

Please consider recommending HHF as an organization to support through your donor-advised fund. A DAF is like a charitable savings account created by an individual, family, or organization through which money can be sent to qualified charities like HHF. When you create or fund your DAF, you can take an immediate tax deduction, reducing your tax liability.

DAFs are an increasingly popular method of philanthropic giving. Click on the text below to enter your DAF (opens a popup window):

In addition, you can contact your adviser at your DAF sponsoring organization to direct them to make checks payable to Hearing Health Foundation at:

Hearing Health Foundation
PO Box 1397
New York, NY 10018

HHF’s Tax ID is 13-1882107.
