Donor Benefits:

Names are displayed on the Living Legacy Dial in the lobby of the Callahan Museum

Our direct mail program offers varied premiums such as return address labels, post cards depicting art work submitted by visually impaired artists, and sponsorship of braille and talking book magazine subscriptions for blind and visually impaired Americans.

Any donor taking part in a planned gift is welcomed into our 1858 Living Legacy Society. Your name is displayed in the foyer of the Marie and Eugene Callahan Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind, and you receive specialized mailings and acknowledgments throughout the year.

All APH donors receive either our quarterly newsletter, "The Circle," or specialized booklets keeping them current on topics related to charitable giving, estate and financial planning, end of year giving advantages, and various other timely topics. These publications are educational and informative. Individual donors will be occasionally profiled as we call attention to their dedication to helping our nation's blind and visually impaired citizens.

Also, all donors receive a special thank you letter for their donation which is recognized by the IRS.
