Our Story
Founded in 1985, the Lighthouse Vision Loss Center began as Mana-Sota Lighthouse for the Blind, a nonprofit dedicated to serving the needs of blind and visually impaired individuals in Sarasota and Manatee counties. What started as a visionary idea became a reality thanks to a committed group of visually impaired individuals, local eye specialists, and community donors who secured funding and 501(c)(3) status for this essential organization.

Ways to Give
We are deeply grateful to the individuals, families, foundations, businesses, and organizations whose generous charitable gifts help sustain our mission. Your support provides essential daily living skills and rehabilitation services to some of the most vulnerable members of our community—all at no cost to those we serve.
Thanks to your contributions, 84% of our budget is dedicated directly to
funding our programs and services. These efforts empower blind and visually impaired individuals to lead independent, productive lives while enhancing their overall quality of life.
Your generous gifts are greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
When the world goes dark, we bring the light.
