A Foundation for Bold Possibilities
We’re on a mission to empower people who are blind through funding that fuels innovation, dignity, and independence.
Our Story
The LC Industries Foundation was created with a simple belief: that blindness should never limit a person’s opportunity to live fully. Rooted in generosity and driven by impact, we fund services that change lives, from medical breakthroughs to vision rehabilitation, education, workforce development, and beyond.
We don’t just fund projects. We fund possibility.
How We Work
Focused Funding – We invest in services and ideas with the power to transform communities.
Global Impact – From Durham to Delhi, our reach is wide but our mission is personal.
Partnership-Driven – We collaborate with leading organizations, researchers, and innovators to multiply our impact.
