|
The Karl Kirchgessner Foundation is a private foundation organized in 1979. The
Foundation’s purposes are exclusively charitable and are accomplished primarily
through support of institutions actively engaged in the provision of services in
the field of vision, principally to disadvantaged persons such as the young, the
elderly, and the handicapped. While the Foundation supports a limited amount of
eye research, its emphasis is to support activities in the area of eye care, and
in helping those with sight problems to be self-sufficient. |
