Thank you for choosing to find out more about including a Legacy Gift to the Irish Deaf Society. We have been fortunate to receive gifts from our supporters and members throughout the years. These gifts have helped us to ensure a lasting future for our organisation.
Your Gift will ensure no Deaf person is left behind in their lifetime
By including a gift to the Irish Deaf Society, you are helping us to continue our work in a meaningful way and ensuring better outcomes for Deaf people in Ireland. The Irish Deaf Society is the only national Deaf led representative organisation of the Deaf in Ireland.
A gift in your will helps to ensure Deaf people can participate and contribute to Irish Society as equal and valued members of society.
Our mission is to ensure equality and rights for Deaf people in Ireland. We want to ensure Deaf people can participate and contribute to Irish society as equal and valued members of society. We can achieve this through our advocacy and education services and by promoting and protecting Irish Sign Language (ISL). ISL is the official and preferred language for Deaf people in Ireland.
Your gift will ensure we are able to continue this work into the future.
