Our Year of Empowerment & Advocacy

Make a donation to help FHSR make an impact in the lives of deaf and hard of hearing children in Illinois. 

Don’t forget – you can double your donation if your employer matches gifts! Contact your personnel, human resource or community relations department for a copy of the matching gift form. If your employer uses an online matching portal (like Benevity), you can search and find FHSR – and if you can’t find us, please contact us! 

FHSR accepts gifts online anytime, through our secure donation portal.

GIVE IN HONOR OR IN MEMORY

DONATE BY MAIL

Checks may be mailed to
FHSR
PO Box 180018
Chicago, Il 60618
When mailing a check, please make sure to include any specific information on what you would like your donation to support (i.e. education programs, music enrichment, community events), or if you would like to designate your gift as a tribute in honor or in memory of someone.

GIFTS OF STOCK

FHSR is pleased to accept gifts of stock. Donating appreciated stock provides you a double advantage: you avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value, and you can also claim a tax deduction on the value of the shares donated. To donate stock, contact FHSR (or, have your broker contact FHSR) for instructions and account information. Important Notes: To take advantage of the tax benefits of gifting appreciated stock, your shares should not be sold but rather TRANSFERRED to FHSR. Please instruct your broker to include your name and address. (Some brokers will not send this information unless instructed!) Transfers without the FFC account information may be delayed or rejected.

GIFTS FROM DONOR ADVISED FUNDS (DAFs)

FHSR is pleased to accept gifts from any DAF.
Contact your Donor Advised Fund administrator to make a gift to FHSR.
You may need our mailing address (PO Box, Chicago, Il 60618) and federal tax ID (36-6082810).
Your DAF administrator should include your name and mailing address with your donation so that we can properly acknowledge your generosity.

GIFTS FROM RETIREMENT PLANS

If you are 70.5 or older, you can make a direct gift to FHSR from your IRA. This is called a "Qualified Charitable Distribution" (QCD), and can have several advantages: QCD's count towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), but are not counted as taxable income. However, to qualify as a QCD, funds must be transferred directly to FHSR. To learn more, contact us or consult your financial professional.

Leave a legacy of compassion and continue to change the lives of deaf and hard of hearing children for generations by including FHSR in your estate plan.

If you are curious about learning more about how you can make a planned gift to FHSR, please contact us for more information. 

If you have already included FHSR in your estate planning, please contact us so we can properly acknowledge your generosity!
