Trusts and foundations
Charitable trusts and foundations play an important role in supporting Sightsavers’ work.
We encourage trusts or foundations to get in touch to become part of the Sightsavers team.
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.
