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 Hamilton, the Musical, Donation Drive with support from the Hippodrome Theater and its audio description firm. In appreciation for your financial support, we will enter contributors in this program into a drawing for a pair of tickets to the Hippodrome Theater in Baltimore to see the hit musical, Hamilton on Sunday, October 23, 2022.

The 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 $10, the contributor will get one chance to win. For example, if an individual donates $20, they will be entered into the drawing two times.

We will draw on October 16, 2022 for these tickets.

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.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland is holding a Fall donation drive to support our work. 

From December 3 to 10, 2023, NFBMD will be hosting Blind Cruising 2023, which is a 7-night cruise on the Carnival Legend to the Eastern Caribbean. Individuals may book passage directly with our travel agent, with a portion of cabin costs going to NFBMD. Those interested may find information at http://www.nfbmd.org/blindcruising.

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.

Get ready for a weekend of fun and fellowship.  Come and be part of celebrating our accomplishments and planning for the future!
