Estate Planning

Listening and Spoken Language Therapy

Consider naming Listen Foundation as a beneficiary, or a contingent (secondary) beneficiary, in your retirement account. Although most of us plan to leave our assets to our family, perhaps they would understand if you left a small percentage of your IRA so that we may continue our mission of helping children hear, listen and talk. This is easily accomplished through a beneficiary designation form that can be downloaded from your IRA custodian, and can easily be updated if you change your mind.

Use of Gifts: (optional)

Donors making planned gifts (by bequest, beneficiary designation, or retained benefit gifts) will have those funds added to our Endowment accounts. We have one account designated for camp and one for the other programs Listen offers. You can decide how to split up your gift, or we can designate it when the gift is received.

These funds were set up to provide Listen with annual income that they can use toward the vital programs that benefit the children and families we serve. Your generosity in adding to these funds ensures Listen can have the current income for operations and programs, but also add to the legacy of work Listen will do into the future.

If the gift is $500,000 or more, the donor may create a named fund.

There have been many times when she has announced how thankful she is that she can hear and speak. She truly appreciates the gift.
