Changing what it means to be blind in the Nation's Capital.
Our mission is simple: We want to achieve equality and opportunity for the blind.
OUR PLEDGE: I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.
Dear Friend and Family Members:
Will you support The NFB Greater Washington DC Chapter’s grass roots efforts?
As a proud member of The NFB Greater Washington DC Chapter I am asking for your support
of a $10.00 or more tax deductible donation.
As an NFB supporter you will play an important role in supporting a national movement that
ensures Equality, Opportunity and Security for Blind and Visually Impaired persons. Locally,
your financial assistance will ensure that on-going chapter programs such as:
Assistance for new NFB members to attend the annual NFB National Convention. One of the largest gatherings of blind and visually impaired persons held by our National Organization
Conducting activities to bring awareness about our blind and visually impaired community members [their lives, achievements, goals and struggles] in the Washington DC area
Provide financial assistant to allow the NFB affiliate to fund The Bell Program: The Bell Program is an annual two week Summer Camp conducted for blind and visually impaired Washington DC students. Students are able to experience the same activities as sighted students with the assistance of trained professionals and volunteers
We believe the NFB is a worthy cause and hope that you will partner with us to achieve positive
results.

Washington DC Chapter at (202) 427-3600 or email at leelibra342@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and donation.
The National Federation of the Blind of DC knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. You can live the life you want -- Blindness is not what holds you back!
