The Strength of the Foundation is Through Our Communities
The Foundation Fighting Blindness Chapter network brings people together across the country to join in fighting blinding retinal diseases. Our family of volunteers and leaders stand up for those impacted by blinding diseases. From day one, they share the latest research and advancements, and provide access to local resources to guide individuals through their personal journey. And together, they celebrate the Foundation’s mission.
We are winning thanks to the dedication of our Chapters focusing on three key areas: education, resources, and revenue. Through informative sessions, Foundation staff, community, and national experts provide research information, low vision resources, and outreach to our local retinal specialists and eye care professionals. To continue accelerating our mission, each community is invited to be a stakeholder by participating in our fundraising events.
The Chapter Network has Three Areas of Focus
-
EDUCATION. Learn the latest in blinding retinal disease research.
-
RESOURCES. Get connected to local community resources and specialists.
-
REVENUE. Raise funds through VisionWalks, dinners, DIY fundraisers, and more.

Foundation Fighting Blindness Chapter Guidance Program
The Foundation Fighting Blindness Chapter Guidance Program brings people who share common life experiences and goals together. Whether you live with a blinding retinal disease or have a family member or friend, the benefits are empowering. While working with a Chapter Guide, they will direct you to some of the various resources.
An blinding retinal disease diagnosis can be overwhelming, and confusing. If you or a family member has recently received a diagnosis, you probably have questions about the disease. The Chapters are dedicated to providing you and your loved ones with the information to help you through your journey.
