Monterey County GIVES – Be Sure to Donate
Posted: Friday, December 19th, 2025
We are excited to once again participate in Monterey County GIVES!, our community’s annual end-of-year giving campaign that supports local nonprofit organizations making a meaningful difference throughout Monterey County.
Running now through December 31, Monterey County GIVES! provides an opportunity for your generosity to go even further. Every donation made to The Blind and Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County during this campaign is eligible for additional incentive funding, increasing the overall impact of your gift.
Thanks to your continued support, we are able to provide essential services for individuals living with blindness and visual impairment, including independent living skills training, orientation and mobility instruction, low vision resources, and support groups throughout Monterey County. Last year alone, we raised nearly $44,000 through Monterey County GIVES!, helping us meet the growing needs of our community.
This year, our goal is to raise $50,000, ensuring we can continue providing personalized, client-centered services from the Monterey Peninsula to the Salinas Valley and beyond.
