    About Lavelle Fund for the Blind

    The Lavelle Fund for the Blind concentrates its philanthropy on education and systemic programs for children with visual impairments and other disabilities, demonstrated by large grants supporting Perkins School for the Blind’s effort to scale inclusive education across Latin America. Their giving emphasizes capacity-building and program expansion to create systemic change rather than one-off local services. The foundation appears to prioritize international impact in the disability and blind education sector.

    About Lavelle Fund for the Blind

    Lavelle Fund for the Blind Inc has built its recent grantmaking around education, vision rehabilitation, and systems change for people who are blind or visually impaired. A defining example is a two-year commitment to Perkins School for the Blind, with grants of $668,889 in 2024 and $601,925 in 2023 for "Every Child Can Learn: Scaling Up Systemic Change for Children with Disabilities and Visual Impairment in Latin America." That same pattern shows up in other large awards that support training, accessible learning, and expanded services rather than narrow one-time aid. The fund also backs specialized institutions that serve children and adults with vision loss. It gave $385,605 to Seva Foundation for a training and learning center in Guatemala, $243,186 to Orbis International for a childhood blindness project in India, and $196,786 to Helen Keller International for diabetic retinopathy services in Bangladesh. Within the United States, its grantmaking includes support for schools, rehabilitation providers, braille resources, peer support, and assistive technology. The mix of scholarships, direct services, and capacity-building grants points to a funder that works across the education-to-rehabilitation continuum and across multiple regions.

    What Lavelle Fund for the Blind Funds

    Education support is a clear priority. The fund gave $250,000 to Helen Keller International for the New Jersey Vision Program, and $168,699 to the Research Foundation of City University of New York Hunter College for "Vision Rehabilitation Therapy: Supporting Graduate Programs and Preparing for the Future of the Field at Hunter College." Both awards connect learning with workforce development. Its direct-service grants also extend to rehabilitation and independent living. Lavelle Fund for the Blind Inc awarded $250,000 to Lavelle School for the Blind for an activities-of-daily-living training apartment, and $217,489 to Goodwill Vision Enterprises for partnership model implementation. On the technology and access side, the fund supported American Printing House for the Blind with $185,375 for APH ConnectCenter and Lutheran Braille Workers with $220,000 to purchase equipment for increased demand for braille Bibles worldwide. These grants show attention to accessible reading and information services.

    Typical grants cluster around a moderate midrange, with a p25 of $11,729, a median of $73,548, and a p75 of $131,500. At the same time, the recent grant list includes several awards well above that range, including multiple six-figure commitments and one grant above $600,000. The pattern also shows repetition: some recipients appear in consecutive years, including Perkins School for the Blind, Helen Keller International, Rutgers Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions, Visionsservices for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Research Foundation of City University of New York Hunter College, and American Printing House for the Blind. The fund makes both project and operating grants, and it funds individuals through scholarship programs. A scholarship application process is listed for some programs, and one scholarship program accepts unsolicited applications.
