Mission and Program Overview

Mission

BLIND, Inc. was founded by blind Minnesotans who believe that, given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can lead normal, independent, and fulfilled lives. We believe that blindness is respectable and that with proper training, the average blind person can succeed in his or her chosen field and personal endeavors. We are affiliated with the National Federation of the Blind, which believes that blind people are seeking the same goals as all Americans: independence, self-sufficiency, and satisfying and gainful employment. Blind, Inc. offers orientation-to-blindness training programs with a positive consumer-oriented approach. We have based our programs on a wellness model. We assume that a person, blind or sighted, has dignity and is capable of making competent decisions. We encourage our students to believe in themselves and in their ability to live meaningful and productive lives.

Rehabilitation training in vocational and personal living skills.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

“BLIND, Inc.'s activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since BLIND, Inc. is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. BLIND, Inc. is not a private foundation. Management has determined that BLIND, Inc. is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact BLIND, Inc.'s tax-exempt status. BLIND, Inc. follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, management of BLIND, Inc. is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0BLIND, Inc. was founded by blind Minnesotans who believe that, given the proper training and opportunity, blind people can lead normal, independent, and fulfilled lives. We believe that "blindness is respectable" and that with proper training, the average blind person can succeed in his or her chosen field and personal endeavors. We are affiliated with the National Federation of the Blind, which believes that blind people are seeking the same goals as all Americans: independence, self-sufficiency, and satisfying and gainful employment. Blind, Inc. offers orientation-to-blindness training programs with a positive consumer-oriented approach. We have based our programs on a wellness model. We assume that a person, blind or sighted, has dignity and is capable of making competent decisions. We encourage our students to believe in themselves and in their ability to live meaningful and productive lives.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The Buddy Program teaches children ages 9 to 13 that being blind is OK and they can have as much fun as anybody else. PREP is a summer program benefiting high school and college students. It teaches teenagers to learn the skills they need to keep up with their peers and prepares them to attend college or join the workforce. Transition: Employment, Advocacy, Mentoring and Skills (TEAMS) is a transition program for blind high school students ages 14 to 21. It provides students with instruction in the skills of blindness to enable them to reach their personal, academic and scholastic goals. Students work with successful blind, adult role models while interacting with blind peers in educational, recreational and social settings. The Transition Trail Outreach Program is designed to reach students and families who reside outside the metro area by bringing transition themed programming to different areas in the state. Students, families and professionals are welcome to join our mobile learning community as we provide hands-on transition instruction and activities designed to increase student independence and enhance self-confidence.
