Greater Detroit Agency for the Blind and Visually Impaired: Donation Match Challenge

August 5, 2025

An anonymous donor, who deeply values the Greater Detroit Agency for the Blind and Visually Impaired (GDABVI)’s mission and understands firsthand the life-changing value of rehabilitation services, has made a very generous $20,000 gift – the largest single individual donation to GDABVI in several years. The donor is a member of the blind, low vision community who values rehabilitation services that promote independence for self-care, support new employment options, and increase social activities – the core mission of GDABVI. They have also issued a powerful challenge.

The Challenge: Raise $20,000 to match this gift within 60 days. Every dollar GDABVI raises will be matched, potentially creating $40,000 in total impact for our clients.
