History
Vision Impaired of Marin was founded in 1974 by people who were vision impaired who sought fellowship with others that were also vision impaired. They challenged the isolation and fear in which they lived by supporting each other. Others joined the group; they organized as Vision Impaired of Marin, receiving a not for profit status, 501 (3) (c). They started holding regular support meetings and, over the years, more services and programs were added.
Many years ago the corporate name was changed to Blind and Vision Impaired of Marin. Many people were not comfortable with the name so the public name reverted to Vision Impaired of Marin.
Today VIM has developed many programs such as an Art Class, Talking Book Clubs, Support Groups throughout Marin, and many more activities. The costs for the Teachers, Facilitators and Coordinators constitute a large portion of the budget. VIM’s mission could not be accomplished without the wonderful support of our volunteers who do everything from serving lunches to working in the office, helping read for people, driving them to their destinations and much more.
