IFB’s footprint across North Carolina now serves more than 80 counties. The new Low Vision Center in Asheville extends our reach in western North Carolina, while the Mobile Low Vision Care program helps bridge low vision services gaps, especially in rural communities. Additionally, the Foundation has doubled the funding for the Focus on Literacy program to ensure more children have access to assistive technology at home. A Brighter Path programs continue to grow, especially Sensitivity to Blindness initiatives such as The Blind Side, a classroom-based program for K-12 students that helps them better connect with those who are blind or visually impaired. We are deeply grateful for the tireless support, increasing resources and advocacy of donors, community partners, and the Foundation Board. Thank you for supporting our mission to improve the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired.
