A Lasting Expression of What Matters to You

After caring for the people you love, a gift in your Will can help future generations of Deaf and hard of hearing New Zealanders communicate, connect and participate fully in life.

Your gift can help the Foundation continue important work across Aotearoa, from identifying hearing needs earlier to guiding people towards the support they need.

If you are considering a gift, we encourage you to speak with your lawyer and provide them with our official name: The National Foundation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Manatopu Incorporated, Charity Registration Number CC10300.

If you do not yet have a Will, you can also explore EveryWill, a free online Will-writing service available to our supporters through our partnership with them.

Your Decision, at Your Pace

When planning a Will, providing for loved ones always comes first.

After that, many people choose to support causes that reflect their values.

There is no expectation — only an invitation to consider what legacy you leave.

Real Impact, Made Possible by Legacy Giving

The Hearing Aid Fund exists because one person chose to leave a gift in their Will. That decision continues to provide access to hearing aids each year.

“Once I had been fitted, I was like a newborn again.” — Glenn

How Your Legacy Makes a Difference

A gift in your Will is a lasting way to support hearing health in Aotearoa. It helps us plan ahead and continue programmes that support early identification, access to hearing aids, prevention, and more inclusive communities.
