Hope for Vision
United States
| Research/Dev
Recent, groundbreaking successes in vision research – including the restoration of vision in human trials employing gene therapies and biotechnology prosthetics – give us hope that we can eradicate blinding diseases and their great costs. The sole limiting factor in delivering these treatments to the people who need them is the availability of research funding. Hope For Vision provides the tools necessary for people like you to come together to share our common interest in this cause and to work together to raise funds for this critical research. HFV is comprised of thousands of dedicated volunteers and vision advocates in Communities of Hope across the country, who raise funds through special events and other activities. Guided by its Board of Visionary Scientists, HFV then distributes over 90 percent of funds raised directly to researchers at leading medical institutions nationwide. Since 2005, HFV Communities of Hope have hosted over 30 events raising millions for sight-saving research.
