MAB Community Services

We’re grateful to The Gibney Family Foundation for a $50,000 grant supporting MABVI’s social service programs, including the Adjustment to Vision Loss Counseling (AC) program, Peer Empowerment Support Groups (PEP), and Volunteer Services Program (VSP).

The Gibney Family Foundation helped launch our AC program, the only peer-led clinical adjustment counseling program in Massachusetts for people who are blind or visually impaired. Their support helps people build daily living skills, pursue healthy aging goals, and live with greater autonomy and confidence.

Since 2011, The Gibney Family Foundation has awarded $581,600 in grants to support MABVI’s mission. We’re deeply thankful for their longstanding partnership and commitment to our community.

Since 2017, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) Foundation has been a valued partner in MABVI’s Access Technology Training Program. Their latest support will help expand and strengthen the program across multiple Gateway Cities.

This funding will help increase access to technology training for older adults with visual disabilities and provide devices to participants who complete training and demonstrate financial need.

We are grateful for the CTA Foundation’s continued investment in digital access and inclusion.
