MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY WITH YOUR GIFT.

Listen and Talk is honored to provide equitable access to high-quality listening and spoken language services for families and their children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing who live across the Puget Sound region and beyond. The work we do is possible thanks to the support we receive from generous donors, corporations and foundations. Philanthropic donations make up approximately 25% of our annual budget.

We thank you for supporting our annual operations and ensuring that no child is limited by hearing loss.
