Giving the Gift of Sight
This Giving Tuesday, RPB invites you to make a meaningful impact by giving the gift of sight with a donation to Research to Prevent Blindness!
As the largest nonprofit dedicated to advancing research into all sight-threatening conditions, RPB is recognized for its commitment to scientific excellence and impactful discoveries.
Since 1960, we’ve been transforming eye care, funding critical research, and accelerating breakthroughs that protect and restore vision—all made possible by the generosity of donors like you.
DID YOU KNOW?
- Donations up to $180,000 total will be MATCHED by our Board of Trustees from now until the end of the year, doubling your impact on vision research.
- 100% of your donation goes directly to RESEARCH—never for operational costs, fundraising, or other expenses.
- Donations to RPB are tax deductible. RPB is an IRS-recognized public charity.
Help us save sight by donating here or by calling 212-752-4333.
From all of us at RPB, we wish you a joyful beginning to the holiday season!
