The Duke Smith Endowment Leave a legacy to the Duke Smith Endowment of The Lake Drive Foundation and give generations of babies with hearing loss a sound start. Sometimes long-term planned giving is the best way to make a gift. Planned giving can have significant estate, financial and tax planning advantages. A planned gift is one which helps you achieve your philanthropic wish to provide support for the Sound Start program; ensure your personal and financial objectives are met; realize tax benefits in your current financial planning and/or lower the taxes for your estate. |
