The National Federation of the Blind
of Indiana

The NFB of Indiana is the state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind in Baltimore Maryland. We help blind persons achieve self-confidence and self-respect, provide information and referral services, scholarships, protection of civil rights, develop and evaluate technology, and support blind persons and their families. We welcome participation by both blind and sighted.

Apply to Become a NFB Indiana Member

If you live in Indiana, or are moving to Indiana, we invite you to apply to Join the NFB of Indiana. Meet other awesome and interesting blind persons, just like you!

If you do not know which chapter you are interested in, choose the option labeled “Unsure”. If you are in rural Indiana, or prefer not to travel to in-person meetings, you may wish to choose the AT Large chapter which covers the entire state and meets monthly virtually via zoom conference. Someone from the chapter you have requested to join will reach out to you. Once the chapter has voted you in as a new member, you will receive a packet of information about the National Federation of the Blind, and a coin to show your support. If you have any questions before applying call 812-550-9128 or use the contact form to ask any questions.

Live the Life You Want! Blindness is not what holds you back!

NFB One Minute Message

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Live the life you want! Blindness is not what holds you back!

NFB Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its constitution.
