Aftersight

Help us reach $15,000 this Colorado Gives Day!

Thanks to generous supporters, we currently have over $3,000 in matching donations! Your donation, made anytime between November 1st and December 10th, 2024, will go even further toward supporting our mission.

In Colorado, over 100,000 individuals are legally blind. Established in 1991, Aftersight is a nonprofit that serves as an audio bridge over the information gap for Coloradans who are blind, have low vision, or have barriers to print. Our offerings include:

• Broadcasting of audio newspapers, magazines, and more in both English and Spanish. 
• Original Podcasts addressing diverse interests of the community members who are blind. 
• Support groups fostering a sense of belonging and community.
• Empowering events designed to enhance skills and challenge misconceptions.
• A free white cane program, enhancing mobility and independence.

Our purpose is to offer connection. We connect people with voices that understand and heal, with tools that offer self sufficiency, with news that informs and educates, with events that empower, and with stories that entertain.

"It has been said that 'Knowledge is Power' and I believe I have both because of AINC's valuable service to those of us who cannot read print materials due to blindness or a physical disability." - Alice G, a listener of Aftersight

Aftersight is on a mission to expand our reach and ensure that no Coloradan who is blind or has low vision is left behind. At the heart of our mission are our strategic imperatives: supporting informed independence by delivering high-quality content that empowers individuals with the knowledge they need, building inclusive communities where our broadcasts, podcasts, and support groups foster a profound sense of belonging and understanding, and always being future ready with our forward-thinking approach. This drive for innovation ensures Aftersight remains not only relevant but essential, particularly as we endeavor to expand our programming, especially in Spanish.
