Can I volunteer at NCBVI?
Yes, please feel free to give us a call, so we can match your talents and interests with our needs. Opportunities might include:
How can I donate to NCBVI?
NCBVI is funded by national and state government grants. However, we deeply appreciate private donations which help us provide more and better services to Nebraskans who are blind and low vision.
To make a cash donation, you can mail a check to the address below or drop it off at the front desk. If you would like to ensure that the check is spent on a certain program or project, please indicate this in an enclosed letter (e.g. senior citizens, youth, services to Spanish speakers, technology, etc.)
What can I do if I disagree with a decision made by my counselor?
The Client Assistance Program (CAP) is a neutral agency available to help you with any questions or concerns regarding your services with NCBVI. CAP will work with you to resolve your disagreement with your counselor by providing free advocacy and mediation. You can learn more about CAP at https://cap.nebraska.gov/. or call (800) 742-7594 or (402) 471-3656.
How can I make a referral for another person to receive services?
You may request services for another person by calling NCBVI at 402-471-2891 or toll free at 1-877-809-2419. The information is given to a counselor who will call to make arrangements to meet with the person who was referred. The counselor will generally call within two weeks.
