The Karl Kirchgessner Foundation |
| SUPPORTING VISION SOLUTIONS |
|
The Karl Kirchgessner Foundation ("Foundation") is a private foundation
organized in 1979. The Foundation's purposes are exclusively charitable
and are accomplished primarily through support of institutions located
in the Southern California area, which are actively engaged in the provision
of services in the field of vision.
The Foundation's mission is to assist economically disadvantaged persons, especially those among the young, the elderly, and the disabled. 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. |
