The Erma A. Bantz Foundation aims to improve the lives of people who suffer from hearing or visual impairments. Established after the death of Erma A. Bantz, the foundation fulfills her desire to support those dealing with these challenges.
The Erma A. Bantz Foundation focuses on supporting organizations that assist the visually impaired, in line with its mission. Initially, assets were split to support both visual and hearing impairments, but currently, the foundation exclusively dedicates its resources to organizations aiding with visual impairments, as the funds designated for hearing impairments have been fully utilized.
