Tips for Applicants

This organization is primarily a service provider rather than a grant-maker, so traditional funding applications may not be relevant. Those seeking partnership should focus on aligning with their service delivery model, particularly in low vision services, guide dog programs, or employment support for people with vision impairment in South Australia.

Giving Philosophy

As a direct service provider rather than a traditional grant-maker, See Differently focuses on providing hands-on programs including low vision optometry, assistive technology, guide/assistance dog training, and employment services. Their approach prioritises practical support that enhances independence and quality of life for people with low vision or blindness.
