Legacy Giving

Legacy giving offers benefactors, like you, the assurance that your wishes will be honored. It also offers peace of mind knowing your gift will not cost anything during your lifetime. Including Hearts for Hearing as part of your generous legacy ensures children and adults with profound hearing loss – even those who are deaf – will have the opportunity to learn to listen and talk well into the future. Your consideration of a legacy gift is very kind, and we are happy to help you accomplish your goals through some of the options below:
