Your gift brings us closer to silence.

If you have a donor-advised fund through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, a community foundation, or another sponsor, you can recommend a grant to ATA in just a few clicks. You already received your tax deduction when you contributed to your fund, so granting from it is a simple way to put those dollars to work for people living with tinnitus.

To recommend a grant, log in to your DAF account and search for us by name or EIN:

American Tinnitus Association
EIN 93-0749558
P.O. Box 424049
Washington, DC 20042-4049

Want your grant to support a specific program, such as research? Just add a note in the grant purpose field. Let us know about your grant at tinnitus@ata.org so we can thank you personally, since some sponsors don't share donor contact details.

Donating appreciated stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares you've held for more than one year can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. You generally won't pay capital gains tax on the appreciation, and if you itemize, you may be able to deduct the full fair market value of the shares. That often means a bigger gift to ATA at a lower cost to you.

To make a gift of stock or securities, please contact us at tinnitus@ata.org or (800) 634-8978. We'll provide transfer instructions and make sure your gift is properly received and acknowledged.

If you're 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to ATA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution. For 2026, you can give up to $111,000 per person, and married couples can each give from their own IRAs.

A QCD isn't counted as taxable income, so it can lower your taxable income whether or not you itemize, and once you reach RMD age, it can count toward your required minimum distribution.

To make a QCD, ask your IRA administrator to send a distribution directly to American Tinnitus Association (EIN 93-0749558) at P.O. Box 424049, Washington, DC 20042-4049. Checks must be payable to ATA, not to you, to qualify. QCDs must be completed by December 31 to count for that tax year, and gifts must come from an IRA, not a 401(k) or 403(b). Please let us know your gift is coming at tinnitus@ata.org, as IRA checks often arrive without donor information.

Prefer to write a check? Make it payable to American Tinnitus Association and mail it to:

American Tinnitus Association
P.O. Box 424049
Washington, DC 20042-4049

To make a gift in honor or memory of someone, or to direct your gift to research, include a note or write it in the memo line. You'll receive a written acknowledgment for your tax records.

Celebrate someone special or remember a loved one with a gift that helps people living with tinnitus. A tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor a family member or friend who lives with tinnitus, thank a healthcare provider who made a difference, mark a birthday or milestone, or keep a loved one's memory alive.

When you make a tribute gift, we'll send a notification to the person or family you choose letting them know about your thoughtful gesture. The gift amount is always kept private.

To give online, select "Dedicate my donation" on our donation form and enter the honoree's name and the recipient's contact information. To give by mail, include a note with your check naming the person you're honoring or remembering and where to send the notification:

American Tinnitus Association
P.O. Box 424049
Washington, DC 20042-4049

Planning a memorial and want to name ATA for gifts in lieu of flowers? Contact us at tinnitus@ata.org and we'll help make it easy for family and friends to give, and keep you informed of the gifts received.

Many companies match their employees' charitable gifts, often dollar for dollar, and some match gifts from retirees and spouses too. It's one of the easiest ways to double your support for tinnitus research and education at no extra cost to you.

Here's how it works:

• Search for your employer below to see if they offer a matching gift program.
• Submit a match request through your company's giving portal or HR department.
• We'll confirm your donation with your employer, and they'll send the matching gift to ATA.

Many employers also offer volunteer grants, contributing to organizations where their employees volunteer. If you have questions or need our information for your match request, contact us at tinnitus@ata.org.

Turn your passion into progress by starting your own fundraiser. Whether you're living with tinnitus, supporting someone who is, or simply want to make a difference, rallying your friends, family, and coworkers multiplies your impact.

Ideas to get you started:

• Celebrate a milestone. Ask for donations to ATA instead of gifts for your birthday, anniversary, or retirement.
• Take on a challenge. Dedicate a run, walk, bike ride, or other personal goal to ATA and ask supporters to sponsor you.
• Honor someone special. Create a fundraiser in tribute to a loved one living with tinnitus or in memory of someone you've lost.
• Rally around Tinnitus Awareness Week. Raise awareness and funds at work, school, or in your community.
• Host an event. Organize a gathering, game night, or other event and invite guests to give.

Setting up a personal fundraising page takes just a few minutes, and we'll provide tips and materials to help you reach your goal. Have an idea for something bigger? Contact us at tinnitus@ata.org and we'll help you plan it.
