National Industries for the Blind (NIB) is dedicated to enhancing opportunities for people who are blind, primarily through employment. NIB has nearly 100 associated nonprofit agencies nationwide, like Envision. Envision is pleased to be an NIB associated agency. 

NIB’s impact is made possible through the sale of SKILCRAFT® products and services produced and delivered by people who are blind. SKILCRAFT is a registered trademark owned and licensed by NIB. The SKILCRAFT line includes thousands of offerings — from office supplies and hardware to knowledge-based professional services — that meet or exceed exacting government standards, including the rigorous requirements of the U.S. military.

Established by the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act, the AbilityOne program allows federal government departments to purchase goods and services at fair market prices from nonprofit organizations who employ people who are blind or visually impaired or have other disabilities. 

Given the staggering 70% unemployment rate among people who are blind or visually impaired, we are proud to partner with AbilityOne to drive positive change. As a leading employer of individuals with vision loss, we provide hundreds of jobs in operations, manufacturing, sales, management, administration, and more.
