This past year was rich with new opportunities, allowing us to strengthen our research, advocacy, and strategic partnerships in a way that expands possibilities for people who are blind or have low vision.
The highlights featured in our 2024 annual report capture our success along the way. They share the goals in our new strategic plan, which provides a blueprint for our programs and operations. And they demonstrate our fiscal stewardship as we map out a sustainable future that will carry us well into our second century of success.
Of course, our progress would not have been possible without the generous support of people like you. The time, talent, and resources that flowed throughout AFB this past year set the foundation that will further our mission for years to come. And with your support, we know we can build a future of endless possibilities for blind and low-vision people everywhere. For this reason, our theme for the 2024 annual report is “Building Opportunity.”
By clearly defining our new strategic goals, we can map out how we intend to further our vision of a world that is more accessible and inclusive for all. To this end, I hope you will take the time to read through this report. And I invite you to join us as we continue to build up this future, brick by brick.
