We Are Proud of Our Charity Ratings
At this time of year when we give to the causes we care about, Hearing Health Foundation is proud to have earned top ratings from all the trusted charity watchdogs. We know that these independent assessments of a nonprofit organization’s fiscal responsibility are important to donors who rely on them to evaluate where to allocate their dollars. We work hard to maintain these top marks:
BBB Wise Giving Alliance: Accredited
Charity Navigator: 100% and 4 Stars
CharityWatch: Graded A and listed as a Top-Rated Charity (Health–General)
Candid GuideStar: Platinum
As these scores show, we pursue our mission to prevent, research, and find better treatments and cures for hearing and balance conditions wisely and efficiently in order to maximize every penny. Take a look at the impact you’ve helped us achieve this past year.
And we deeply appreciate our community for supporting innovative research to benefit the millions living with hearing and balance conditions.
Right now through December 31, generous, anonymous donors who believe in our mission are matching every gift dollar for dollar.
Your support matters!
Tax-Smart Giving
In addition, we fully understand you have many organizations requesting support at this time of year. Your contribution to HHF—now matched dollar for dollar—supports breakthrough discoveries while also providing potential tax advantages.
Here are three tax-smart ways to give:
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 fuel scientific discovery while potentially cutting your tax bill.
We’re sincerely grateful for your investment in our researchers’ pioneering work, now with a 1:1 match through December 31.
The pace of scientific discoveries is directly linked to the investment funds received. We could not do our work without you.
