Wiscraft, Inc. is a Milwaukee-based manufacturing nonprofit that provides employment opportunities for people who are visually impaired or legally blind. The organization operates a machine shop, assembly and packaging operations, and a communication center, employing blind workers to deliver products and services to customers.

Founded in 1903 as the Wisconsin Workshop for the Blind, the company transitioned from a state agency to a private nonprofit in 1985 and remains focused on offering work valued by customers and the community.

Wiscraft serves regional manufacturing clients and counts Briggs & Stratton, Harley-Davidson, Pentair, P&H, Morris Material Handling, and Oshkosh Truck among its long-standing customer relationships. It positions itself as an Employer of Choice with emphasis on improving the work environment and fostering independence and pride among its employees.

In 2021, reports indicate Wiscraft conducted a capital campaign to build a facility dedicated to employment, training and services for the blind.
