VisionGift is a non-profit organization operating in the Hospitals and Health Care sector, focused on improving lives through eye donation, transplantation, and ocular research. Founded in 1975 and based in Portland, Oregon, the organization aims to honor donors by advancing sight for all humankind, supporting the belief that everyone has a fundamental right to see through public education and partnerships. Its work centers on facilitating corneal transplants and advancing related research, providing recipients with renewed hope and improved vision. VisionGift serves individuals in need of corneal transplants and collaborates with partners and sponsors to expand access to donated tissue. A recent development noted is a partnership with MellingMedical announced in September 2020 to support the provision of corneal tissue to a Veterans’ Medical Center, illustrating ongoing collaboration within the eye-donation ecosystem.
