	National Convention Financial Responsibilities: 
	Each year affiliates and national divisions make donations to the
funds that help sustain our movement. This is often done during Honor Roll
Call during the General Assembly. Affiliates and divisions should send an
email to let us know the name of the organization, how much it is
contributing to each fund, and when the check is expected to be mailed. We
will collect and track this information as contributions are received. We
ask that all pledges be fulfilled by August 1, 2023. You should make
donations to respective Funds payable to National Federation of the Blind
indicating that specific fund. Make sure to put Honor Roll Call in the memo
of any check sent for this purpose, and mail it to 200 East Wells Street,
Baltimore, MD 21230, Attention: Fiscal Services - Roll Call.

	Board of Director's suggestion of financial donations: 
	1. Kenneth Jernigan Fund, 
	2. Jacobus TenBroek Memorial Fund, 
	3. SUN Fund, 
	4. and White Cane Fund,

	Door Prizes:
Door prizes are being accepted for the 2023 National Convention. We request
cash donations so that we can distribute gift cards and gift certificates as
prizes. Cash donations make it easier to create prize groups and to
distribute prizes from one location. Please make your checks payable to
National Federation of the Blind and write Door Prizes in the memo. You
should mail the check to National Federation of the Blind, 200 East Wells
Street, Baltimore, MD 21230, Attention: Fiscal Services - DP. By addressing
the check this way, we will easily identify it as a door prize and process
it accordingly. You can also send an email to prize at nfb.org
<mailto:prize at nfb.org>  to let us know you are sending a contribution for
the door prizes and the full name of the organization that the contribution
is from. We want to make sure we recognize your organization in our
thank-you list. You can contact Bridgid Burke (bburke at nfb.org

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.
