About SightUnseen.me Foundation
SightUnseen.me Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting adults experiencing vision loss and the people who care about them. Our mission is to help people move from the uncertainty that can follow diagnosis toward connection, confidence, and greater stability. We provide structured, nonmedical transition support at no cost to the individuals we serve.
Employer Identification Number (EIN): 42-1983831
Why we exist
Vision loss can change daily routines, independence, work, relationships, and a person’s sense of direction. A diagnosis often leaves individuals and families with practical questions about what to do next. SightUnseen.me helps bridge that gap by listening, helping people identify useful resources, and connecting them with human support.
What we do
Our National Care Model™ centers on three pillars: advocacy, connection, and stability. We help individuals and families understand available services and benefits, reduce isolation through supportive relationships, and organize practical next steps. Our Advocate Buddy™ program offers personal follow-up after a request for support.
