The Lavelle Fund for the Blind is a charitable grant-making foundation dedicated primarily to supporting programs that help individuals who are blind or visually impaired live independent and productive lives. While priority is generally given to programs in the greater New York metropolitan area, the Fund also considers grant requests geared to preventing, treating and, where possible, reversing blindness and vision loss nationally and globally.
Of this grant total, $50.8 million has gone to organizations serving our home, Tri-State New York region. 56% of our international grantmaking dollars have been directed to Asia with a predominant focus on South Asia (India, Nepal and Bangladesh). Latin America is the Fund's second largest grant investment internationally, focusing on sustainable eye care and improving access to quality education for blind and multiply disabled children.
