HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION ACTUALLY GOES TOWARD OUTREACH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES?
Greater than 90%. We strive to ensure that almost every cent you donate goes to our outreach. This means that our US-based team members cover basic operational and administrative expenses. For instance, we donate the funding required to ship documents domestically, create and edit promotional videos, host this website, and cover other operational costs. We do our best to ensure that your donation will go toward keeping workers safe, rather than providing us with pens to fill out the IRS 990 form.
HOW CAN I HELP?
The best way to help Working Vision is through the donation of goods, funding, or service. To donate goods and services (like safety equipment, or your expertise [medical, creative, etc]), e-mail workingvision@gmail.com. To donate funds, click here.
DOES WORKING VISION ONLY PROVIDE SAFETY GLASSES?
No. We have also distributed dusts masks, respirators, and earplugs to participants in our workshops. We always need welding shields. If you have occupational safety equipment you’d like to donate, e-mail us at workingvision@gmail.com.
DO YOU HAVE PLANS TO OFFER ADDITIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES ON TOP OF EYE SCREENINGS?
Yes. On-site, general healthcare has been successfully provided at many US-based companies. Eventually, we hope to do the same at our workshops. Are you an internal medicine or family-practice physician? We need your help planning this next phase. E-mail us at workingvision@gmail.com
