  NILD is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that believes a direct, focused attack on deficient thinking skills can stimulate the brain to work more effectively.

  NILD-trained therapists go beyond tutoring and use techniques that integrate aspects of strategy development, reasoning, and oral language proficiency within the framework of learning basic skills in primary academics, such as reading, writing, and mathematics.

  Approximately 75,000 children around the world have been through NILD’s program in the past 25 years. DavidHinshaw was one of the first. He struggled with a learning disability in elementary school and says, “Two years of NILD educational therapy trained me to think critically and prepared me for success today in the global arena of communications technology sales. NILD changed my life!"

  Your tax deductible gifts will assist NILD in its efforts to reach these struggling learners and release them from the confines of their learning disabilities.

  We invite you to partner with NILD today to deploy its critical initiatives and leave a momentous legacy to help both children and adults who struggle to learn. For every day without development and employment of NILD’s programs, thousands of at-risk students of all ages are failing to become independent learners and are being marginalized by society.

  GIVING TO NILD
  

  There are almost as many ways to make a donation as there are needs to be met.

  Gifts of Cash: Making a donation of cash is as simple as writing a check or authorizing a charge on your credit card.

  Gifts of Securities: Stock that has increased in value is one of the assets most frequently used for charitable giving. Stocks must have been held for a minimum of one year.

  Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets: To maximize the value of a retirement account, consider making a lifetime gift of its after-tax values to a tax-exempt deferred giving plan.

  Gifts of Real Estate: Using real estate, such as your house, farm, commercial property, or undeveloped land, to fund a gift allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive significant tax and income advantages, and make a larger charitable gift than anticipated.

  Gifts of Life Insurance: Naming NILD as your life insurance beneficiary can be a wonderful way to fulfill your desire of helping this important organization.

  Matching Gifts: Under a corporate matching gift program, gifts made by a company’s eligible employees to non-profit organizations which meet the company’s guidelines are matched with company or corporate foundation funds.

  Planned Giving: Depending on your individual circumstances, these plans can increase your income, reduce your taxes, unlock appreciated investments, relieve you of investment worries, and ultimately provide very important support.

  Volunteer Opportunities: NILD volunteers can serve in many ways. We have opportunities both for occasional volunteers and those who have time to give on a more regular basis. These range from special event opportunities to daily administrative work.
