Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation
Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to supporting Hoosiers who are blind and visually impaired.
Our Foundation serves as the sole philanthropic fundraising source for the Bosma Center for Visionary Solutions, which provides rehabilitation and training to people who are blind or visually impaired. These programs, which range from intensive Center-based services to in-home assistance for seniors and others, would not be possible without the help of Foundation supporters and donors.
Help us, help Hoosiers. Every dollar donated to the Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation will be matched up to $1M now through the end of the year.
