Large donors

Prevent unnecessary blindness and support us financially. Globally, there are still 285 million people with a visual handicap. About 80% of these cases are preventable or curable by – for example – cataract surgery or prescription glasses. Your more significant donation can make a substantial difference.

Give people back their sight

Considering a large gift of €1000 or more? Please contact Margreet Geels, our contact person for donors for over 20 years, by phone at 0031 (0)20 – 647 3979 or by email. Maybe you want to make a large donation or finance an entire project. We still have a few projects – mostly in Nepal – on our wish list that we can make happen with contributions from €10,000.

Memorial donation and legacy gifting

With a memorial donation, your legacy continues, or you can honour a loved one. Together, we discuss where your donation will go; you can choose a specific project. We can also discuss the options for visiting the project so you can experience how your contribution made a difference. You can make a memorial donation starting from €50,000 and create a memorial donation in combination with legacy gifting to the Eye Care Foundation.
