Investing in Our Students

The generous support of many friends and benefactors allows Overbrook School for the Blind to continue to carry out its mission:

“…to develop and deliver education that enhances the options available for persons with visual impairment and other challenges so that they have the greatest opportunity to experience active and fulfilling lives.”

Overbrook School for the Blind is fortunate to receive financial support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through an annual appropriation. However, for expenses such as technology, program support and construction and maintenance projects, we rely on our generous donors.

 Overbrook School for the Blind is a registered 501 (c)(3) corporation.
