BLIND SPORTS FOUNDATION

The Blind Sports Foundation is a proud South Australian charity dedicated to helping blind and vision-impaired people of all ages experience the confidence, connection, and joy that sport brings. Since 1996, we’ve been raising vital funds to ensure athletes can access the equipment, guides, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Born from the determination of athletes who faced barriers at the 1996 Multi Disability Championships, our Foundation exists to ensure no blind or vision-impaired South Australian is left behind in sport or recreation. With minimal overheads and a volunteer-led board, 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to athletes, supporting a wide range of sports from athletics and swimming to goalball, tandem cycling, sailing, and more.

By supporting our events or partnering with us, you’re not just funding sport—you’re helping to create a more inclusive and connected community across South Australia.
