The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland has established an affiliate COVID-19 fund to assist individuals and families that are experiencing financial hardship during the COVID-19 crisis. This fund is available to blind individuals and families with a blind household member living in Maryland. The financial assistance must be needed due to a change in circumstance, e.g. loss of employment income, because of COVID-19 or associated government directives like the Stay-at-Home order. Assistance is limited to essentials such as groceries and medication. This Fund is being administered by the NFBMD Financial Assistance Committee.

Anyone wishing to request assistance should email [email protected] or call 443-426-4110.

In addition, NFBMD is seeking contributions to augment the NFBMD COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund. Those interested in making a tax deductible monetary donation may do so by using the Paypal button below or by mailing a check to:
