NextSense is an Australian service delivery organization supporting people with hearing and vision loss, including deafblind individuals. They provide comprehensive services including cochlear implant programs, vision services, school support, and professional education, while conducting research through their NextSense Institute.
Tips for Applicants
NextSense is not a grant-making foundation - it is a service delivery organization. Those seeking funding should look to NextSense as a service provider rather than a funder. For organizations seeking partnerships, highlight alignment with NextSense's mission of supporting people with hearing and vision loss, and emphasize evidence-based, person-centered approaches.
Giving Philosophy
NextSense operates as a service delivery organization focused on person-centered, team-based approaches to supporting individuals with hearing and vision loss. They advocate for keeping literacy options (including braille) on the agenda, promoting independence, and ensuring inclusion in all aspects of life. Their approach emphasizes assessing the whole person in their environment rather than just clinical settings.
