Listed below is just a sampling of
some of the community support provided by the Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable Foundation (KSBCF).
The foundation funded training for
Headstart administrators, teachers, and nurses to conduct eye screening
projects through the Kentucky Society to Prevent Blindness.
KSBCF was involved in
providing support to J.B. Speed Art Museum for the "Touch N See
Art Exhibit."
KSBCF
contributed $250,000 to Visually Impaired Preschool
Services over a period of five years toward their new classroom wing.
The funds helped them expand their services and create a "Kids Town" learning
facility.
KSBCF contributed to the Hall of Fame for Leaders
and Legends through purchasing a stone on the Wall of
Tribute honoring and recognizing the Kentucky School for the Blind.
The Wall of Tribute is in the Hall of Fame on the fourth floor of
the American Printing House for the Blind.
The charitable foundation continues to support the Audio Studio for the Reading
Impaired by helping to underwrite their efforts to provide audio recordings for Kentucky
students and adults who are blind.
The KSBCF partnered with the Kentucky Center Arts Access Forum
on several projects involving Kentucky School for the
Blind (KSB) students. Walden School and KSB students were brought
together for ceramic classes resulting in two huge tiled wall hangings that were
created for each school.
KSBCF also provided funding to the Louisville Free Public library to enable them
to purchase additional large-print books.
