Who We Serve

The Foundation serves as a bridge between the visually impaired members of society
and the organizations that serve them.

 

The Houston Delta Gamma Foundation benefits the blind and visually impaired by funding research to prevent blindness, providing low vision and educational aids, helping with needed medical intervention and counseling, participating in cultural enrichment, funding vision examinations, corrective equipment and lenses and providing equipment for vision examinations. The Foundation is uniquely flexible in providing this support.
