Welcome to the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois.

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of our members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us or our future and every day we raise the expectations for blind people because we recognize the low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Since 1968, we have been helping members live the lives they want! We know that the real problem concerning blindness is not blindness itself but the lack of knowledge, understanding, and opportunity. Get involved in the NFB of Illinois, the largest organization of the blind in the nation and in the state, and help us live the lives we want!
