About 20 20 Quest

Its grants are large and targeted, directed to a small set of international vision-care NGOs to support mission delivery and program scale-up. The foundation appears focused on practical, service-oriented solutions to blindness and visual impairment rather than broad health systems work.

About 20 20 Quest
20 20 Quest’s recent grant record is built around one clear purpose: aiding people who are blind or visually impaired through targeted support for vision-focused nonprofits. The largest grants in the file go to Restoring Vision, including $1,388,172 in 2024 and $1,354,048 in 2025, both marked to support its mission. That pattern is matched by repeated support for Vision Spring, which received $559,985 in 2024 and $304,048 in 2025 for the same purpose. The foundation also gives to groups working on blindness prevention and vision services, such as Int Agcy Prevention Blindness in London and Prevent Blindness of Georgia in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Across the recent grants list, the funding is highly targeted rather than broad-based, with most awards described as support for the mission to aid the blind and or visually impaired. The result is a grantmaking profile centered on practical vision care, distribution, and service delivery, with a small set of recurring nonprofit partners carrying much of the activity.
