Lavelle Fund for the Blind Grant

The Lavelle Fund for the Blind is a grant-making foundation focused on aiding individuals who are blind or visually impaired to achieve independence and productivity. It has a particular interest in the greater New York metropolitan area but also funds programs with national and international impacts.

Type of Support

Overview

The Lavelle Fund for the Blind supports programs in areas including medical eye care, vision rehabilitation, resources for independent living, and education. The Fund emphasizes assistance for eye diseases and disorders treatment, adaptive training and devices for independent living, educational services for the visually impaired, and professional training for those who work with this community. While primarily providing program support for initiatives aimed at creating, expanding, or improving services, it occasionally provides capital support in relation to specific program needs. The focus is on project-specific grants, especially those that promote success and independence for the visually impaired in everyday settings and the educational sphere.
