Charitable foundations
Charitable foundations play an important role in supporting Sightsavers’ work.
We work with many trusts and foundations around the world, with grants ranging from just a few dollars to more than $600,000.
How we can work together
Sightsavers focuses on eliminating avoidable blindness and supporting those whose sight cannot be improved or restored so they can live independently. We do this using sustainable, replicable and scalable approaches to eye care that strengthen existing health systems in the countries where we work.
There are a number of ways for charitable foundations to offer support:
- Give a one-off or annual unrestricted gift: this allows us to use the money for our identified priorities at that time.
- Give through a monthly standing order: this enables us to plan ahead, so we can help even more people with visual impairments.
- Work with us to support a specific area of work: this is usually over a number of years, and can support a specific cause such as helping children who are visually impaired or have other disabilities so they can attend school.
