For 125 years, Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind has served the blind and visually impaired community across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia; providing rehabilitation, job training, assistive technology, and the tools for independence.

The 125 for 125 campaign is raising $125,000: $1,000 for every year of service to fuel the programs, technology, and training that open the world to people with vision loss.

Your gift makes a direct impact:
- $40 provides a white cane
- $200 covers a free low-vision exam
- $500 funds one day of orientation and mobility training
- $1,000 provides assistive technology training with JAWS software or a smartphone
- $2,500 sponsors one person through our Foundations of Adjustment to Blindness program

There are 77,463 people living with blindness or visual impairment in the greater DC region. Every gift, at every level, moves our mission forward.

Independence is not a privilege. Access is not optional. Help us write the next chapter.
