Ways to Give

Give the Gift of Sight.

We’re passionate about restoring eyesight and the transformation it can bring to the people we serve. Your generosity makes a direct, positive impact on people like Kiki, a corneal transplant recipient whose restored vision allows her to experience life to the fullest.

The Phillips Scholarship.

Advancing Sight Network is thrilled to provide financial assistance for vision-related service projects. Any medical volunteer may apply. First preference is given to ophthalmology residents with an Advancing Sight Network connection. Scholarship awards can be used for travel, lodging, supplies, and expenses related to the service project. Applications can be submitted at any time. Awards are typically made within four to six weeks.

Focus 2026.

The world of eyesight restoration is changing. We don’t need to just change with it. We need to lead it. That’s why we’re focused on raising $3,000,000 in funds that will allow us to have an even greater impact on eyesight locally, regionally, nationally, and around the world. This funding will enable us to become an even more valuable asset to medical researchers worldwide.

Funds raised will be used for

  • Purchasing new equipment and hiring new staff
  • Equipping spaces in Birmingham and affiliate offices to maximize research capabilities
  • Establishing an innovation endowment to make the program sustainable
  • Advancing community awareness aimed at increasing eye donation rates, especially in minority populations
  • Supporting program operations

Working together, we can find innovative ways to save and restore eyesight for millions around the globe.
