My Nonprofit Reviews

I have worked with many nonprofit organizations in many roles, but none serve a greater need or make a greater impact in the lives of those served than Blind Babies Foundation.
Blind Babies Foundation works directly with families--at their own home--when a child is born with (or develops) a visual impairment. They take a unique approach that is grounded in the fields of pediatric ophthalmology, early childhood development, and orientation and mobility. They help families self-advocate and participate in creating plans for the family. They are highly respected and referred by some the top Pediatric specialists in the country and are leaders in the academic field, as this organization has established the first-of-its-kind data bank for research into childhood visual impairments.

Blind Babies Foundation has been around for 64 years, so the stories and positive outcomes are endless. One family-that have become ardent supporters and volunteers-were told that their baby would never be able to attend school or function "normally" in the world. A Blind Babies Foundation Specialist worked with the baby and family for many years, eventually preparing him to attend school. To make a long happy story short... 25 years later, this kid has graduated college, held several jobs, served on Presidential Commissions, and is a leader and advocate for people with disabilities.

Blind Babies Foundation has improved the life of many many families.
