Giving the Gift of Sound & Voice
About 2 or 3 out of every 1,000 children in the US are born with hearing loss
in one or both ears, and about 15% of adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some
trouble hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss is the third most common health issue
people are faced with, but AVC is here to help them receive the help they need.
With 65% of our clients on Medicaid (which only pays 15% of the
auditory-verbal therapy cost), we need your support to help these children
have access to our services so they can also learn to listen and speak.
With your generous support, we can help even more people.
It will make a world of difference, we promise you.
We also accept IRA (if you are over 70 years of age) or stocks.

OTHER CHARITABLE GIVING OPTIONS
We understand that with life’s ups and downs, cash may not always be readily available to donate now. So, we hope you will also consider one of these other ways to help accomplish your charitable giving goals...
- Gift directly from your IRA when over age 70½ – Those over age 70½ with a traditional IRA (Individual Retirement Account) can give up to $100,000 each directly to Charity, and in some cases don’t even have to put the charitable withdrawal on their tax return. An added bonus for some is that the transfer, directly to the charity from the IRA, also counts towards the RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) for the year the transfer is received by the charity. This is a very effective way to give in the most tax efficient manner for those in this age group.
- Gift of Appreciated Stock – Receive a tax deduction on the full market value of appreciated stock, while avoiding the capital gains tax that would otherwise arise from the sale of this stock. If you decide you want to gift some stock or other investment holding for 2020, please contact your financial advisor to ensure there is adequate time for this to be completed within the calendar year.
- Outright Gift of Money or Real Estate – The donor receives a tax deduction and can avoid capital gains taxes. There are ways to donate property, such as a second home, and retain the right to use the property during your lifetime or to retain the income stream from an asset during your lifetime.
- Bequest by Will – Denote a portion of your estate or a piece of property be given directly to your designated cause upon your death.
- Gift of Life Insurance – If your children are grown, doing well, and your spouse is provided for, consider giving all or part of a life insurance policy to a charity and potentially receiving a charitable tax deduction.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts – When the estate owner retains the right to the income but transfers his or her rights in the remainder to a trust, it is called a charitable remainder trust, and this is yet another way assets can be shared.
Whatever gifting strategy you choose, planned giving can be very rewarding as you are changing the life of a child by giving them the Gift of Sound & Voice.
