Support

The Central Illinois Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired is a 501c3 corporation that is funded by private philanthropic support from corporations, private grants, fundraisers, individual donors, and trust funds. No funding is provided by state or federal taxing entities.  Please consider making an online donation today by clicking on the Donate button at the bottom of this page.

Our Board Members volunteer their time for fundraising, programs, and other areas to help the Center run. Oftentimes we run short of “person-power” and would love to involve more people in the community who are interested in helping!

Check out the Calendar of Events page for any current or upcoming fundraisers.
