The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is a national nonprofit organization with a mission to create a world of no limits for people who are blind or visually impaired. Since its establishment in 1921, AFB has been a leader in addressing the pressing needs of individuals with visual impairments, while breaking down societal barriers and promoting systemic change. AFB offers a range of products and services that aim to expand pathways to leadership, education, inclusive technology, and career opportunities.

By promoting research, AFB collaborates with researchers and educators to better understand the challenges faced by the blind and visually impaired community. This knowledge is then used to develop evidence-based solutions in education, employment, healthcare, and technology. Additionally, AFB works to promote knowledge and understanding among policymakers, business leaders, advocates, and the general public.

Through strategic relationships and networks, AFB shapes policies and practices to create welcoming environments in workplaces, schools, and communities. With nearly a century of leadership in the blindness community, AFB is dedicated to creating a world of no limits. Join AFB in their mission by getting involved and making a difference today.
