An autumnal social media post. The title says; 20/20 GIVING CAMPAIGN. Half way there! Will you help us finish strong? We're half halfway through our campaign -- and nearly half way to our $20k goal! Every donation so far has been matched -- have you made yours? Aftersight is a lifeline for people with vision loss-- from a child's first Braille lesson to an older adult's daily coffee routine. Your donation keeps these programs 100% free -- and right now, it goes twice as far. Only a few days left for the $10k match! Help us push through! Share this with 3 friends today.

Thank you so much to the Community Foundation of Boulder County for the recent grant!
The image is a thank you to the Community Foundation of Boulder County. It is roughly square, and the outside border is covered in stylized plants (reminiscent of Matisse). In the upper left is seen the Aftersight Logo. Top center is the logo of Community Foundation of Boulder County. In the center there is text which reads: Profound thanks to the Community Foundation of Boulder County! Aftersight was recently awarded a Community Trust grant which will help us to provide news, information, and resources in audio format for people who are blind or have have low vision in Boulder County. Thank You is written at the bottom in large in a font that looks handwritten.
