Honoring the Gift of Donation

Saving Sight is committed to working with hospitals across our region to facilitate the gift of eye donation. From supporting each donor family to maximizing every opportunity for donation to occur, together we change lives by saving sight.

Funeral Home Partners

Saving Sight works closely with funeral homes to honor the wishes of eye donors and their families. Many families receive comfort knowing that their loved one was able to provide sight as an eye donor during their time of grief. At Saving Sight, we work with your funeral home to streamline the eye donation process and provide compassion and care to donor families.

Our Hospital Development team is available to answer your questions about the eye donation process and to work collaboratively with you to meet the needs of each donor family.
