Who We Serve, What We Give, Why It Matters
Who We Serve
Students in grades K–12 who are blind or visually impaired and need assistive technology to succeed in school and life.
Why It Matters
Over 500,000 children in the United States are blind or visually impaired. Many families cannot afford the technology that could transform their child's education.
What We Give
Free 13-inch iPad Pro devices pre-loaded with accessibility apps, plus ongoing support, training, and connection to our community.
Our Vision
We envision a world where blindness or visual impairment never limits a child's potential — where every student can read their textbooks, see the whiteboard, and participate fully in their education, and where families have the support and resources they need to help their children thrive.
The Problem We're Solving
More than 500,000 children in the United States are blind or visually impaired in ways that affect their ability to learn. Many of these children could benefit tremendously from accessible technology like iPads, which offer:
- Built-in magnification and zoom features
- VoiceOver screen reading capability
- High contrast and color inversion options
- Access to thousands of accessible educational apps
- Connection to digital learning resources
But with iPads costing hundreds of dollars, many families simply cannot afford this life-changing technology. That's where Vision Nonprofit comes in.
How Our Program Works
- Apply. Families complete a simple online application with information about their child and their needs.
- Review. Our team reviews applications and verifies eligibility, typically within 2–4 weeks.
- Receive. Approved families receive a 13-inch iPad pre-loaded with accessibility apps and resources.
- Support. Families get ongoing guidance, training, and connection to our community.
Who Qualifies
Our program is designed for families who need it most. Basic eligibility requirements include:
- Student is in grades K–12 (Kindergarten through 12th grade)
- Diagnosed as blind or visually impaired
- U.S. resident
- Does not currently have access to a personal tablet or iPad
Don't meet all criteria? Apply anyway — we review each application individually and consider special circumstances.
Required documentation includes: (1) a diagnosis from a medical provider, (2) a device recommendation from a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or medical professional, and (3) proof of student enrollment.
