Each year, thousands of Federation members and friends contribute before and during the National Convention to funds that support blind people across the country. In 2026, your generosity continues to power our movement. When you give $25 or more between May 15 and July 7, 5:00 p.m. Central, you will be entered into the Keep NFB Advancing: Connections, Community, and Opportunity Give $25 drawing. Each $25 increment is another chance to win.
Your gift strengthens connections, grows our community, and expands opportunities for blind people nationwide. Together, we keep the National Federation of the Blind advancing by raising expectations and removing barriers so blind people can live the lives they want. A past winner, Ali Colak, shared, “This was my second time entering, and I didn’t think I would win anything. Just participating in helping the NFB in its cause was wonderful, but winning was a pleasant surprise.”
Your support fuels programs that bring blind people to National Convention, foster education and mentorship, and create opportunities for the next generation. Our members and partners count on our expertise and our resolve. We will never shy away from the effort to surmount obstacles and achieve full participation, independence, and equality for blind people.
