Giving Programs    

The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute is a small, non-profit organization whose primary interests are binocular vision problems, other visual impairments, and sensory rehabilitation engineering. By investing in the Institute, you can participate in basic and clinical vision research and rehabilitation research, which are all directly relevant to the management of vision deficits. 

Donors can make significant gifts while taking advantage of current tax incentives. There are many types of planned giving strategies such as retirement plans, trusts, remainder interest in a personal residence, bequests, annuities, and cash.


Sustaining Giving Programs

Bequests

Gifts may be made through a will, trust, or retirement plan.

Memorial Gift
