What are Helen’s Gifts?

Simple and straightforward, Helen’s Gifts represent the various programs and tools that are a part of Helen Keller Intl’s broad range of work. Our mission is to help vulnerable people living in poverty around the world who suffer needlessly from preventable blindness and low vision, disabling diseases and malnutrition.

Our three gift themes also express the profound legacy of our co-founder, Helen Keller. You can share your gift by sending unlimited e-cards that honor and inspire others to See Possibilities, Overcome Obstacles or Fulfill Potential.

How does it work?

Choose a gift theme, make your donation, select an e-card design, and personalize with your message. Send your e-card to as many friends and loved ones as you’d like.

How will my gift be used?

Your gift will help to support the full range of Helen Keller Intl’s work in 20 countries, including the U.S. It will be used where it is most needed, enabling us to deliver services with rigor, efficiency and compassion.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. All gifts are deductible to the full extent allowable by law. Your receipt will be provided upon completion of your donation and you will also receive a gift acknowledgment by mail.

Why should I give to Helen Keller International?

Helen Keller co-founded our organization in 1915 with the firm belief that every human life has equal value. More than a century later, Helen Keller Intl is still at work furthering Helen’s extraordinary legacy with landmark efforts that save vision and transform lives around the globe.

83 cents of every dollar we spend goes directly to our programs. Helen Keller Intl is also a Charity Watch Top-Rated Charity and has been named a Top Charity by GiveWell.
