Volunteer Endowment Fund
Volunteerism has been a MAB tradition since our earliest days, when MAB was founded by volunteers at the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union (WEIU). MAB’s first Advisory Boards featured such illustrious volunteers as Helen Keller, Julia Ward Howe, and Edward Everett Hale. The first paid staff member wasn’t hired until 1948.

"I choose to give to MAB because when I needed help, MAB’s arm reached out and took hold of mine. I lost my vision in my thirties but when my husband died I had to face life all over again as a blind person in my sixties. MAB’s support group saved me. My MAB volunteer helps me to be productive, but he’s also one of my best friends. MAB has made all the difference in my life."
