All three of the North Dakota non-profits noted above partner with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Once they receive the used hearing aids, they repair, recondition or refurbish them, and then distribute them both domestically and internationally to children and adults in need. As a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, the Starkey Hearing Foundation has pledged to fit more than 1 million hearing aids in this decade.
