The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. is dedicated to empowering individuals with low vision to live independent and fulfilling lives. Low vision impacts millions of individuals and can make everyday tasks like reading the newspaper, going for a drive, and even recognizing familiar faces a challenge. Our goal is to strengthen and expand our essential Lighthouse Low Vision Services, including:

• The Clinic: Our knowledgeable and caring staff provide low vision services in the Seattle area. 
• The Store: Find the right tools to help you maximize your remaining vision.
• Rehabilitation Services: Learn how to adapt to your vision loss.
• Low Vision Educational Services: Boost awareness of the tools and resources available.

To continue providing these vital services, and to expand them to meet the needs of a growing population, we rely on the generosity of individuals like YOU. Our goal is to raise $125,000 by August 8th – which would allow us to meet these needs: 

Technology – Upgrading our clinic equipment to have the latest tools available for patients. 

Uncompensated Care – Many people who need access to Low Vision Services lack the insurance to cover their care. Our Uncompensated Care fund fills that gap, allowing people without insurance coverage to benefit from our services. 

Expanded Capacity – A second exam room at our clinic would allow our program staff to increase and expand overall services and support more individuals.

Donors who make gifts of $500 or more to the campaign will be honored with a personalized tile on our Partners In Empowerment donor wall in the Lighthouse Low Vision Clinic and Store, spotlighting the tremendous generosity from our community and inspiring generosity in others.

The campaign will culminate with our Summer Garden Party on the evening of Thursday, August 8^th, where folks can come on-site to the Ethel L. Dupar Fragrant Garden, located at our Seattle facility, and meet with program staff and fellow supporters to celebrate the success of our Spring Campaign! Eat some delicious food, participate in a raffle, and learn all about the programs and services available for Lighthouse employees and the greater community.
