From the Executive Director
Dear Independence Alliance Supporters,
Nonprofit effectiveness relies on the critical alignment between your mission-driven goals and your operational objectives. Mission goals provide the "why" and long-term vision, while operational objectives provide the "how". Prioritizing tangible impact ensures our services and support directly align with our core purpose: to empower people with disabilities to lead independent and inclusive lives in the community.
Many times, we are given an opportunity to provide unique support to people with disabilities, for instance through the Empowerment through Vision award from Greater Cincinnati Foundation. Through this unique funding, Independence Alliance has provided technical assistance to over 20 consumers who are living with blindness or a visual impairment.
“If you were not able to do this, I would not have been able to purchase glasses for myself. Your organization is a great asset to our community.”
“Thank you so much for this blessing…this is certainly a gift for my boy. We appreciate you all!"
If you are blind or visually impaired and in need of low vision aids for mobility and navigation, computer access, reading, or daily living, or if you need assistance with obtaining eyeglasses, please let us know. Through the Empowerment through Vision Project, Independence Alliance can provide low vision items at no cost to increase your independence and enhance your quality of life. The process is easy – just complete and return the Referral Form. You will be notified when approved; most items can be shipped directly to your home.
Email us with questions or get more information here.
As always, I welcome your feedback and ideas. I can be reached at 513-338-5100 or by email.
Kind regards,
Rob
