Mission: The EyeSight Foundation of Alabama is a nonprofit foundation whose mission is to serve as a catalyst to improve eyesight through education, research and access to care.

Vision:  Making a difference in the eyes of the world.

What we do: We award grants to non-profits conducting vision research, education or patient care.  We do not work directly with the consumer public – we don’t see patients, we aren’t doctors or researchers or educators – but on our Resource Directory we list many organizations that do provide those services.
