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.

Federation Family,

We recognize that the Government shutdown may be causing some to feel a great deal of stress and anxiety, particularly as SNAP benefits have been suspended as of November 1, 2025.  While SNAP benefits are suspended, and while the shutdown continues, the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland will be providing some resources and supports, but we need your assistance.

The Convention is the supreme authority of the National Federation of the Blind, and this too is true of the affiliates.  One of the most important charges of the Convention is to consider and vote on resolutions that come before it; those resolutions become the policy of the organization. To that end, individuals interested in submitting resolutions should send them to NFBMD Resolutions Chairperson Chris Danielsen by email at cdanielsen@nfb.org by January 15, 2026.
