Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving deaf and hearing-impaired children and their families. We rely heavily on generous donors to support our world-renowned auditory-oral school where deaf children learn to listen, speak and succeed in mainstream social and educational settings. CID's school tuition rate is about half what it costs to provide a CID education, about $49,000 a year per 3- to 12-year-old child. Most of our families receive significant tuition assistance.

CID gratefully accepts many kinds of gifts, including cash, securities and real estate as well as planned gifts in the form of bequests or other planned giving vehicles. If you're thinking about giving, ask your lawyer or financial advisor to help you identify planned giving opportunities that may provide tax deductions and other benefits for you and your family.

Named Scholarship Funds
A minimum gift of $10,000 will create a CID scholarship endowment fund,
typically named in honor of oneself, a loved one or an individual or group
with special ties to Central Institute for the Deaf. We also welcome
contributions of any amount to CID's existing
named scholarship funds for the education of deaf
children.
Tribute gifts of any size are
also welcomed in
honor or memory of a loved one. We appreciate your support.
