I have been donating to the St. Louis Society For the Blind and Visually Impaired for quite some time now. They provide services to adults and children to help them adapt to their blindness or limited vision; regular social activities so that their clients do not feel isolated; and host a support group for the newly blind or impaired to help them deal with their feelings and emotions about their affliction. The Society does not receive government grants (although they are contracted by the state to provide certain services, they are not reimbursed the full value of what they do). They are very reasonable in the number of appeals they send out, consisting of a quarterly newsletter with an envelope to use to make a donation, and one or two separate additional solicitations each year. They recognize their donors in the newsletter and annual report.
