Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Blind & Visually Impaired Centers, Disabilities, Human Services
Mission: Supporting opportunities that enable greater personal and economic independence for people who are blind or vision impaired.
Programs: Grant-making - visioncorps foundation trustees approved grants supporting programs that enable greater financial and social independence for people who are blind. Grants given include grants to programs that have provided 90,000 hours of work to employees who are blind, giving these individuals economic independence. Visioncorps foundation provides support to agency camps and internship programs for high school aged children to gain workplace experience during their high school years.
education and public awareness - visioncorps foundation understands that community education and awareness is critical in maintaining support for its programs. One particular program supported by the foundation served 1,312 unique clients in its many service areas, for a total of 11,829 service hours - this would not have been possible without the support of an aware and actively contributing community. The foundation also supported preventative efforts that screened more than 6,400 individuals (children and adults) for signs of vision loss. Statistics indicate that the number of people who are blind in the united states will double in the next decade, and the continuation and increase of these services is crucial.
