Our Impact
Our funding in action.
Impact Stories
We’re a funder, with the experience and expertise to find and fund brilliant minds and bright ideas. The golden thread that links everything we fund, is that it works toward our mission to ‘Save Sight. Change Lives.’
We de-risk the projects we fund by passing them through our grants assessment panels. Both panels, our Research and Social Grant Assessment Panel (RGAP and SGAP) consist of sector professionals.
This process ensures we’re investing our money into projects with the most potential to deliver projects that drive freedom, independence and connection and research that’s putting change in sight.

“If I can do anything in my lifetime to help prevent my children from losing any more sight, or to give them the opportunity to give them better sight, then that’s what I’ll do.”
