Make a donation and join Hope for Vision's 20/20 Campaign
Hope For Vision’s 20/20 Vision Campaign embodies a goal that is at once simple, inspiring and attainable: 20/20 Vision by 2020 for the millions afflicted by blinding disease
Our Goals:
- Raise $20 million to fund research directly, and to increase Hope For Vision’s capacity to generate additional research funding from private and public sources.
- Provide “20/20 Grants” to researchers who have demonstrated records of excellence in innovative research fields that hold the promise of treatments and cures for blinding disease.
- Increase HFV’s base of supporters twentyfold – enlist 100,000 advocates to join Hope For Vision’s nationwide Communities of Hope in educating families, neighbors and friends about blinding diseases and in empowering these communities to join the mission of vision.
- Make the Hope of 20/20 vision a reality for individuals afflicted by blinding disease – as quickly as the science can be funded, millions of Americans will see again and blinding disease will be relegated to the realm of tragic history.

Donate Stocks and Securities
If you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets, it may be advantageous to make your gift directly in the form of securities rather than cash. An outright gift of long-term, appreciated securities is exempt from capital gains taxes, and you receive a charitable tax deduction at the fair market value of the securities.
If you have securities that have declined in value over the years and are interested in donating them to Hope for Vision, you may find it more advantageous to sell the securities first and contribute the proceeds to charity as opposed to donating the securities outright. This strategy should allow you to claim a deduction for both the loss from the sale of the securities as well as the charitable gift.
Call (646) 840-4208 for more information.
Planned giving
You may want to consider including Hope for Vision in your overall financial, tax and estate planning goals. Planned gifts include contributions made through your will, charitable trust, insurance or retirement plans. Please call (646) 840-4208 for more information.
