Please share this notice with your staff and colleagues. 

 <http://www.computersfortheblind.net/> Computers for the Blind (CFTB), a non-profit 501 (c) (3) agency is pleased to announce the receipt of a grant from the Delta Gamma Foundation which will enable us to provide our refurbished desktop computers with screen reader and screen magnification software to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients for only $20.  

In order to qualify a person who is legally blind must present us with a copy of their disability determination award letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) indicating that they are an SSI recipient due to blindness. 

Please note that this grant is only available to SSI recipients.  Persons who receive SSDI or Social Security Retirement do not qualify for this grant unless they also receive SSI. Please do not share this with consumers who do not receive SSI or we will be inundated with calls from individuals who do not qualify.  

To request a computer, contact us at: 

214-340-6328 or  <mailto:info at computersfortheblind.net> info at computersfortheblind.net

This offer is good until grant funds are exhausted. 

This year CFTB is celebrating its 25th year of connecting worlds – one computer at a time.  We have shipped out over 7,000 accessible computers to persons who are blind or have low vision.  With your assistance and that of the Delta Gamma Foundations we will continue to be able to provide low cost accessible computers to persons who could otherwise not afford them.  For more information about our computers and organization go to our website at  <http://www.computersfortheblind.net/> www.computersfortheblind.net. 

Respectfully, 

David Jeppson

Executive Director
