The Tennessee School for the Blind has served Tennessee's blind and visually impaired citizens since 1844.  Because its students have unique needs, the school often needs special equipment, supplies and opportunities for enrichment in addition to what can be provided by the state through normal appropriations.  The purpose of Friends of Tennessee School for the Blind is to supplement those state appropriations by enhancing and enriching the educational, vocational, special skills, and social development of students enrolled in the Tennessee School for the Blind.  Examples of ways in which the organization assists the students include:  Purchase of disability specific educational materials and supplies; Pay for special educational enrichment activities; Purchase of recreational equipment; Pay for special training for students; Purchase of access technology, etc.  Friends of Tennessee School for the Blind, Inc., is a chartered, non-profit organization that has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) (3) Federal Income Tax Exempt Organization.
