CHARITY RESPONSE TO REVIEW:
No one understands blindness as well as those who live with it daily. To apply this knowledge to solving the problems of blindness, blind people formed the National Federation of the Blind of Minnesota (NFBM). As blind people, we know the loss of eyesight is not the major problem of blindness. The real problem is the misunderstandings that surround blindness. The NFBM overcomes this problem through education of the sighted to the reality of blindness and through mutual help among blind people. Such activities make blind people fully participating members of society. We earn own living, raise families, and take full responsibility for our own lives. We are pleased to be responsible to the public through meeting the standards of the Charities Review Council.
