Support Us
Vision Forward is a private 501(c)3 organization with a long history of providing quality services to children and adults with vision loss. Each year, more than 6,000 individuals turn to us for rehabilitation services, education and training classes, recreational activities or to purchase adaptive products that will help them adjust to their changing vision.
Your financial support assures that no one will be turned away from receiving critical vision services or participating in life enriching activities due to their ability to pay for services. A gift to Vision Forward is a gift of opportunity, hope and success for children, adults and their families who are living with vision loss.
