Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired

Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI) is a private, not-for-profit organization offering comprehensive vision rehabilitation services for people of all ages who are blind or visually impaired.

CABVI is not a state or federal agency and does not directly receive tax dollars. CABVI continues to be a dynamic organization, growing and changing to meet the needs of an increasing number of people in the Greater Cincinnati area. Among the challenges that the new millennium brings will be meeting the quality service, identifying new sources of revenue to address the issues of overall operating expenses increasing at a rate greater than revenue will be required to provide for long-term sustainability. Developing new markets and new products, as well as improved production efficiency, will be required to maintain the viability of the Industries Program and Base Supply Center, as well as new Social Enterprises that are still being developed.
