Empowering Bold Visions
We fund services that change lives of people who are blind.
Vision Loss Shouldn’t Mean Opportunity Loss
And yet, it often does.
All too often, people who are blind or losing their vision face unfair roadblocks to independence, education, healthcare, and meaningful employment. But the truth is, with the right services, support, and innovation, those barriers can be broken. We're here to fund the game-changers.
"We’re grateful for the LC Industries Foundation gift toward retinal disease research at our Feinberg School of Medicine. Such generous support recognizes the potential of breakthrough treatments that will benefit the hundreds of millions of individuals around the globe who have these diseases."
We're not your average foundation.
We give generously, so others can live fully.
We fund services; vision rehab for kids, workforce training, medical research, and so much more, that empower people who are blind to live with purpose and possibility. We're agile, intentional, and deeply committed to supporting ideas with big, beautiful ripple effects.
