Welcome to the home of the National Federation of the Blind of Wisconsin.

Our Mission:

The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to achieve widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. We do this by bringing blind people together to share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create imaginative solutions.

NFB Resources

Here we have divided the most popular resource needs into four simple categories: For Living, For Working, For Learning, and For Recreation. You’ll find helpful lists of contacts, program information, additional online resources, and more!
