About
IC Network NFP
We are a Chicago-based nonprofit dedicated to building up human potential for blind, visually impaired, and disabled individuals — through programs, community, and unwavering advocacy.
Building Up Human Potential Since 2023
IC Network NFP was founded in Chicago with a simple but powerful belief: every person, regardless of ability, deserves the opportunity to live independently, connect with community, and reach their full potential.
We serve blind, visually impaired, and disabled individuals through a comprehensive range of programs — from assistive technology training and employment readiness to peer support, sports and recreation, and independent living skills.
