For Donors

Catalytic Capital. Lasting Impact. 

The Gund Vision Fund invests in companies developing treatments and cures for inherited retinal diseases and dry age-related macular degeneration. As the venture philanthropy arm of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the Fund bridges the critical funding gap between discovery-stage research and drug development, deploying donor capital alongside world-class scientific infrastructure that no traditional venture fund can replicate.

When you give to the Gund Vision Fund, your donation fuels catalytic investment in the most promising therapies. As those therapies advance, financial returns are reinvested to fund the next generation of breakthroughs, so your gift keeps working long after it is made. Philanthropic dollars have already helped the Fund attract more than 10 times their value from top-tier co-investors.

The Gund Vision Fund was launched in 2018 as the Retinal Degeneration Fund. While the name has changed, everything you will hear in this video — the mission, the strategy, and the commitment to advancing treatments for blinding retinal diseases — remains the same.
