Giving

With your help, BISM will continue its quest to employ, educate, and train blind individuals, whether they are born without sight, dealing with declining vision, or recovering from serious injuries.

From teaching non-visual life skills to employing blind individuals across various roles, your contribution fuels our commitment.

Your donation helps fund all this and more:

  • Employment opportunities
  • Summer camps in Salisbury and Baltimore
  • Support groups for seniors
  • Outings and retreats to build confidence in our students
  • Computers and assistive technology devices to teach students how to use technology non-visually
  • Purchase of canes
  • Supplies and materials used by the students to learn non-visually

Your support ensures that individuals who are blind can achieve their highest level of independence.
