Corporate & Foundation Support
We seek community support to provide critical programs, assistive tools, and employment opportunities that empower and encourage people to pursue their dreams and thrive. We work with local and national foundations, corporations, and service organizations to ensure our programs are available to those who depend on them.
Community support through grants and sponsorships for Lighthouse programs has a profound impact on the lives of people who are blind, DeafBlind, and blind with other disabilities. This support expands sustainable employment and transformative services, creating lasting change for people who need it the most. By investing in Lighthouse programs, our partners strengthen their community.

Volunteers
Volunteers are vital to the Lighthouse. From working in the office and helping at events, to making our sidewalks safe to navigate, their gift of time is making a positive impact. Visit our website for our many diverse opportunities to Get Involved.
“This has been great! We will be back with a bigger group.”

Foundation Board
The Foundation Board supports Lighthouse programs by serving as community ambassadors and bolstering our philanthropic work. Board members are skilled volunteers who offer their time and expertise to advance the Lighthouse mission. Each board member participates in outreach, cultivation, and networking efforts to increase awareness of and support for the Lighthouse in the larger community.
