Look What You Made Possible in 2025

Building confidence one person at a time.

Because of you, lives were changed in 2025 at Blind Industries & Services of Maryland (BISM). Together, we provided more than 64,000 hours of training and instruction to people who are blind, equipping them with practical skills, new confidence, and the tools to live independently.

You helped us welcome more than 1,400 individuals into our programs, offering encouragement, community, and support at every stage of life. And thanks to your generosity, 116 people proudly completed their programs this year — young students preparing for their future, adults ready to take on new career opportunities, and seniors finding new ways to stay connected.

Every milestone reflects your compassion and commitment. When you give to BISM, you give more than hours of instruction — you give hope, and the chance for people to thrive.

Thank you for making this work possible.
