Eye-Link Foundation

Eye-Link Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides technology for residents of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin who have visual impairments, who are not veterans, and who, for a variety of reasons, can not get technology through State Services for the Blind. The organization works to deliver badly needed adaptive technologies to individuals challenged by uncorrectable sight loss. Our mission is to provide a wide array of vital, highly specialized adaptive technologies and training to family members, friends and neighbors who are struggling with severe visual impairments. Adaptive or assistive technologies are hardware and software packages that give “voice” or Braille output to computers, smart phones, classroom note takers, document scanners, bar code and prescription readers, Braillers and more. Approximately 3% of our population has uncorrectable sight loss! The current estimate of Blind unemployment in the United States is approximately over 70 percent. Receiving unique equipment from Eye-Link immediately begins to restore independence, develops self-sufficiency, and can establish recipients on a path to employment.
