Other Ways to Give
Beyond a one-time gift, there are many meaningful ways to support Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation. Whether you’re honoring a loved one, planning for the future or exploring creative ways to give, your generosity helps expand independence and opportunity for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Gifts in Honor or Memory
Honor a family member, friend or loved one by making a gift in their name. Tribute gifts celebrate milestones, achievements and special occasions – or honor the memory of someone who has passed, while supporting life-changing services for people with vision loss.
When you make an honorary or memorial gift, Bosma will send a personalized notification to the individual or family you designate, and you’ll receive an acknowledgment of your contribution.
