About Us

We are the National Federation of the Blind of the District of Columbia — Part of the largest and oldest organization of the blind. Our mission is simple: We want to achieve equality and opportunity for the blind.

The National Federation of the Blind of The District of Columbia knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back!

Together with love, hope, and determination, we transform dreams into reality!

You might be an artist who would like to introduce yourself and your work here or maybe you’re a business with a mission you want us to know more about. We are open to all and would love to hear from you.

Our Philosophy

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!
