Provide the gift of literacy to a blind child and celebrate 92 years with us at Hampshire House. As a braille reader guides you through this interactive dinner, you will use aroma, texture and taste to explore the evening's menu without sight.

Estate Planning

Planned giving is a wise investment that can provide considerable tax benefits and income for you and your loved ones. The Braille for Life Alliance honors supporters who wish to support our mission into the future by making provisions for National Braille Press in their estate plans - either by will, trust, or life income gifts.

Science and Technology

"Implicitly or otherwise, the educational system has diminished expectations of the blind. If science is hard for me, a sighted adult might reason, it must be doubly hard for a blind person."
