DeafBlind Ontario Foundation raises, invests and directs funds to DeafBlind Ontario Services to enhance programs which support the individuals they serve.
Our donors are our partners. Through your investments, we are working together to build independence and confidence.
Strategic Plan
DeafBlind Ontario Foundation’s first Strategic Plan (2023-2026) fully aligns with DeafBlind Ontario Services’ 2023-2026 Strategic Plan and will enable us to meet our shared responsibility to the individuals served and be responsive to the ever-evolving environment we all live in.
This plan outlines the work ahead for the Foundation to ensure the sustainability of DeafBlind Ontario Services and enable it to grow and evolve through new endeavors and partnerships. With exciting opportunities ahead of us, we look forward to continued collaboration as well as engaging with new audiences to shape the future of the DeafBlind Ontario Foundation.
