The programs and services we offer come at a cost. Ultimately, we do not turn anyone away who needs us – this is why we need YOU.

There are many ways to support our mission from volunteering to drive our clients, helping a family member, friend or colleague who is experiencing vision loss get connected to us, donating a gently used or brand new accessibility tool or device (more info below), and sharing our emails or social media posts to help raise awareness of who we are and what we do.

Monetary donations are another big way you can help us continue to support our clients and their families regardless of one’s ability to pay. You can make a secure online donation here.

If you prefer to donate by check, please make your check payable to Future In Sight and mail it to:

Future In Sight
25 Walker Street
Concord NH 03301

Whether you donate online or by mail, please let us know if your donation is being made in honor of or in memory of someone special to you.

Future In Sight is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. EIN: 02-0223606.

Maximize the impact of your financial gift:

Consider a recurring donation

There are certain times of the year when the public is more generous. We greatly appreciate those times but we must also plan for the many months between. Please consider a recurring donation to help your donation reach even further.

Become a recurring donor by selecting the ‘Recurring’ button on the donation page and setting the ‘Donation frequency’ to a frequency of your choosing. We love a monthly gift!

Donate a Gently Used or New Item

In addition to financial support, we welcome donations of gently used (and fully functional) low vision aids and devices such as magnifying glasses, lamps and UV filters that can be repurposed to help another client. We also accept donations of new CCTVs and braillers. If you would like to donate an item, contact 603-224-4039 or [email protected]. You can also stop by 25 Walker Street in Concord, NH during business hours (M-F 8AM-4PM).

Gifts that carry value beyond a lifetime:

A bequest in your will or provision in your trust directing a gift to Future In Sight provides you with an opportunity to create a lasting legacy.

Your will or estate plan can designate gifts of cash, real estate property or retirement plan assets to be made in one of several ways:

  • Specific bequest: a gift of a specific amount or piece of property
    • Example: “I give $5,000 or my XYZ common stock to Future In Sight, a non-profit corporation, for its general corporate purposes.”
  • Residuary bequest: a percentage of or the remainder of your estate

There are a number of ways for you to create a charitable gift using appreciated stock or other assets, which return an income to you and usually to one other person. Charitable Gift Annuities are suitable for gifts of $5,000 or more. Charitable Remainder Trusts are an option for larger gifts.

Here are the differences:

  • A Charitable Gift Annuity may help you increase your spendable income, provide a fixed, steady income, and gain an immediate charitable income tax
    • Example: “I give, devise and bequeath, all the rest, residue and remainder of my property, however acquired and wherever situated to Future In Sight.”
  • Contingent bequest: a gift taking effect only if something does or does not happen, e.g. another beneficiary does not survive you
    • Example: “In the event my Aunt Mary Jones should not survive me, I give my father’s silver and coin collection to Future In Sight.”

It is easy to name Future In Sight as the beneficiary, or one of the beneficiaries, of your life insurance policy or any one of your retirement plans. By making a charitable gift in this manner, you may avoid estate and income taxes while creating a lasting legacy.

Just as you should periodically review your will and estate plan, you should also periodically review the beneficiary designations on any life insurance, IRA, 401(k) or other retirement plan you own (or over which you have a power of appointment given to you by someone else).

You may even consider gifting an “obsolete” insurance policy by naming the Future In Sight as the owner. You will be entitled to an income tax deduction that is usually equivalent to the paid up value or replacement value of the policy.

Simply contact the administrator of your plan and ask for a Change of Beneficiary form. You may even be able to find one on their web site.

Giving real estate, whether undeveloped, residential or commercial, provides you with another method to make a tax-advantaged gift. If your real estate has grown in value, it may be a perfect asset to fund a Charitable Remainder Trust (see above). It is possible to continue the use of your home or property during your lifetime while receiving the benefit of an immediate charitable tax deduction.

The following is suggested language for how to reference us in a legal document such as your will or trust: “Future In Sight, a nonprofit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of New Hampshire and with its principal business address as 25 Walker Street, Concord, New Hampshire 03301.”
