Consider increasing the impact of your gift by including VHI in your estate plans. Your planned gift creates a meaningful legacy while potentially offering tax benefits for you and your loved ones. Planned gifts can be made through:
Bequests in Your Will or Living Trust: Designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to support VHI. If you would like to leave a gift to Voice Health Institute in your will, living trust or estate planning, please designate VHI as a beneficiary with the following information:
Retirement Plan or Life Insurance Designations: Name VHI as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy—a simple way to make a significant gift. Contact your plan administrator for a change of beneficiary form or visit the beneficiary page on your plan’s website, where you can complete the form electronically. You may also choose to designate VHI as a contingent beneficiary, which means that VHI only receives the gift in the event your primary beneficiary does not survive you.
Please talk with your attorney or financial planner to determine what is best for you and your family.
The Voice Health Institute (VHI) is an independent federally-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity that was founded in 2003 by patients who suffered voice loss and struggled to find effective treatment. The VHI’s mission is to raise charitable funds to support research, education and outreach programs that will improve the standard of care for voice and upper airway problems. It has been the most successful organization of its kind and more than 90% of the funds that VHI raises are used to support these programs.
