National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is the Maryland state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind. We are changing what it means to be blind in Maryland! Find a local chapter or division. The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is conducting a Theater Spring Donation Drive. In appreciation for your financial support, we will enter contributors in this program into a drawing for one of three pairs of tickets to the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore.

Each show is audio described, and we are grateful to the audio description firm for donating these tickets to NFBMD for use as a fundraiser.

For every $5, the contributor will get one chance to win. For example, if an individual donates $20, they will be entered into the drawing four times.

We will draw at the end of each month for the next show. The seats are located in the upper right box.

Here are the rules:

This policy is applicable to all chapters, divisions, and the affiliate, as well as any activities, meetings, fundraisers, or in-person gatherings of an official nature.

We are accepting dues for 2021 and/or 2022. Individuals interested in paying chapter and division dues may do so in one of two ways: 1. Pay dues online; or 2. send a physical check to the chapter or division treasurer.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland (NFBMD) is thrilled to announce changes to the John T.  McCraw Scholarship Program for Academic Year 2022-2023.   The NFBMD Board of Directors voted to nearly double each individual scholarship and to add an additional scholarship.  The Program will award up to four individual scholarships of $4,000 each.  These scholarships will be given to qualified blind students who exhibit academic achievement, community involvement, and leadership.
