Help us reach $15,000 this Colorado Gives Day — December 9, 2025!

Early Giving Opens November 1, 2025

Thanks to generous supporters, we already have over $3,000 in matching donations! And starting November 1st, new recurring monthly gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100 through Colorado Gives Day’s state match fund.

By donating between November 1st and December 9th, you can help light up the darkness for Coloradans who are blind or have low vision. Your gift becomes a guiding star — shining light, access, and empowerment into lives across Colorado.

🌠 Why Your Donation Matters

In Colorado, more than 100,000 people are legally blind — many of whom struggle to access critical information, news, and community connection.

Since 1991, Aftersight has been an audio bridge across the information divide. We serve Coloradans who are blind, low vision, or have other barriers to print through free, accessible audio services. With your help, we can expand our reach and brighten even more lives.

🎙️ What Your Donation Supports:

  • Audio broadcasts of newspapers, magazines, and community news — in English and Spanish

  • Original podcasts exploring topics that matter to our audience

  • Support groups that build connection and confidence

  • Empowerment events that educate and challenge stereotypes

  • Free white canes for mobility and independence

“It has been said that 'Knowledge is Power,' and I believe I have both because of Aftersight’s valuable service to those of us who cannot read print materials due to blindness or a physical disability.”— Alice G., Aftersight listener

✨ Our Impact by the Numbers:

  • 125 hours of new content delivered every week

  • 400,000+ annual downloads of our programs and podcasts

  • 10,000+ volunteer hours contributed each year

  • 90% of listeners say Aftersight promotes independence and community connection

🚀 Why Give Now?

This year, we’re aiming to raise $15,000 to fund accessible programming, expand our Spanish-language offerings, and provide more canes and smart speakers to listeners in need.

Your donation today can:

  • 🎧 Bring news and stories to someone isolated in a rural area

  • 🧑‍🦯 Fund a white cane that helps someone navigate the world

  • 🗣️ Support programming that empowers, educates, and connects

Whether it’s $20 or $780, every gift is a star — and together, we form a constellation of support for the blind and low-vision community in Colorado.

Giving Activity

Mission

To provide news and information in audio format for Coloradans who are blind, have low vision, or have barriers to print. Audio services empower individuals to be self-sufficient, connected to community, and continuously learning.

Background Statement

Over 30 Years of Empowering Blind and Low Vision Communities.

Founded by David Dawson in 1990, Aftersight has become an instrumental beacon for the Coloradans who are blind, have low vision, or have barriers to print. Recognizing a significant void in Colorado's accessibility to reading services, Aftersight was initiated, offering essential audio programs to those without any alternative means of accessing printed materials.

Housed now in Boulder, CO, and with over three decades in service, Aftersight continues its mission.

We're excited for the future, and with your generous support, we can ensure that we can bring Print to Life for every Coloradan.
