Donate to the National Optometric Association

Scholarship, Community Outreach and Educational Activities
The goal of the NOF is to assist the NOA in its efforts to advance the visual health of minority populations, while increasing the recruitment of underrepresented minorities into schools and colleges of optometry. All tax deductible donations go towards achieving this goal.

“Visioning the Future” HBCU Mentorship Program
The number of African American/Black optometry students is drastically lower than the number of other minorities in the nation’s Schools and Colleges of Optometry. The objective of the mentorship program is to identify interested African American students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and facilitate their professional development and career advancement in the field of Optometry.
