The organization comprises Keystone Blind Association, Keystone Vocational Services, and Keystone Independence Management, with a back-office framework that handles accounting, payroll, human resources, fundraising, and program development for its affiliates and the National Foundation for Blind Children, positioning it as a provider of both direct services and administrative support within the blindness services ecosystem.

A notable development in its recent history is the appointment of Laurie Staph as president and CEO in early 2018.
