National Federation of the Blind Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to
support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution
One-Minute Message
The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
Dream Makers Circle
Help build a future full of opportunity for the blind by
becoming a member of the Dream Makers Circle. Your legacy gift to the
National Federation of the Blind can be made in the form of a will or living
trust, an income-generating gift, or by naming the NFB as a beneficiary of a
retirement plan or life insurance policy. You can also become a member of
the Dream Makers Circle by making a legacy gift to your state affiliate. By
committing to support an NFB affiliate, your gift will benefit both local
and national programs as all bequests made to affiliates are split evenly
with the NFB national treasury. In addition to having the satisfaction of
contributing to the future success of the NFB's mission, Dream Makers Circle
members will also receive a specially designed thank you gift and other
benefits. For additional information about the Dream Makers Circle, please
contact Lou Ann Blake at the NFB Jernigan Institute by e-mail at
lblake at nfb.org, or by telephone at 410-659-9314, extension 2221.
