DeafBlind Victoria solely rely on funding to operate. Committee members are all volunteers and raise small amount of funds by selling DBV T-shirts (see link to buy) providing workshops and occasional community awareness raising.

Supporting DBV puts DeafBlind people at the forefront for community inclusion, diversity and self-determination.

What kind of support does DeafBlind Victoria need? 

There are many things you could do to support DeafBlind Victoria:

• donations/bequest;
• funding to allow DBV members to meet regularly;
• continue our work to support the DeafBlind community;
• receive communication access to tactile and Auslan interpreters;
• accessible equipment and technology;
• provide training and awareness to Auslan interpreters and to the wider community;
• continue to pay DBV office space;
• organise a peer group at monthly DBV cafe
• provide and invite guest speakers;
• provide DeafBlind World workshops;

DBV members are often asked to speak at National and International conferences however the costs of travel, accommodation, communication guides and Auslan interpreters are usually too high. Funding is needed to support our public engagements.

Any kind of support is greatly appreciated by DeafBlind Victoria.
