The mission lives on because you do.
For more than 75 years, the generosity of donors like you has carried the work of Mill Neck Center for the Deaf forward — from a single school of 19 students in 1951 to a globally connected organization serving thousands today. Every gift you give continues a legacy that began with faith and has grown through community.
Your gift becomes their tomorrow.
When you give to Mill Neck, you are not making a donation to an institution. You are partnering with us to fund a K–12 school where Deaf children learn in their language, an adult services program where Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing adults find meaningful work, a Foundation that extends our reach globally, a chapel where worship happens in ASL, a food pantry that meets local hunger, and a historic Manor House that stands as the heart of it all.
Every gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Lutheran Friends of the Deaf is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. EIN 11-1726856.

Generosity, gratefully acknowledged.
Our donors are not faceless contributors — they are partners in this work. Each year, we recognize the supporters whose generosity makes our mission possible through our Annual Impact Report, the Manor House donor wall, and tributes in our community newsletter.
Major gift donors are invited to private receptions at the Manor House, behind-the-scenes tours, and personal updates from our executive team. Legacy Circle members — those who have included Mill Neck in their estate plans — receive ongoing recognition and our deepest gratitude.
If you prefer to remain anonymous, we honor that completely. Every gift is held with care.
