About Us
DGCKids
Founded in 1951, DGCKids has grown from a grassroots effort into a leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering children who are blind or have visual impairments and their families. Through programs like Early Intervention, Family Support Services, GRADS, and Vision Screening, we provide specialized services, advocacy, and community connection. For over 70 years, our mission has remained the same: helping children reach their full potential and lead joyful, fulfilling lives.
