Summary
This funding opportunity supports organizations working to improve the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The grants are designed to strengthen programs that promote independence, expand access to services, and create meaningful educational and community participation opportunities. While priority is often given to programs serving the Greater New York metropolitan area, funding may also be available to organizations operating elsewhere in the United States and, in select cases, internationally.
Grants are available exclusively to nonprofit organizations with recognized tax-exempt status. Individuals, small businesses, and for-profit entities are not eligible to apply. Funding is generally intended for program-specific initiatives rather than general operating expenses. Supported activities may include vision rehabilitation services, assistive technology distribution, accessible educational programming, mobility and independent living training, and expanded access to medical eye care. Programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes, community impact, and long-term sustainability are especially competitive.
Award amounts vary depending on the scope and scale of the proposed project. Grants typically range from approximately $10,000 for smaller community-based efforts to $500,000 or more for large-scale or multi-year initiatives with broad regional, national, or international reach. In some cases, substantial investments are made to expand proven programs or replicate successful service models in underserved communities.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and funding decisions are made periodically throughout the year. Organizations are encouraged to clearly outline how funds will be used, who will benefit, and how the program aligns with the broader goal of increasing independence and opportunity for people experiencing vision loss. Overall, this opportunity offers meaningful financial support to nonprofits committed to advancing inclusion, accessibility, and quality of life.
