Get involved

Bring expertise, access or opportunity to the table.

The Foundation welcomes conversations with educators, accessibility professionals, developers, creators, schools, technology companies, mentors and community organizations interested in building practical public-benefit work.

Partner

Schools, nonprofits, technology companies and community organizations can discuss training, accessibility, devices, software, creative programs, mentorship or shared initiatives.

Mentor

Qualified professionals may be able to support future participants with practical guidance in accessibility, technology, education, software, creative work or career pathways.

Volunteer expertise

Potential needs may include accessibility review, curriculum development, communications, governance, finance, technology, legal/compliance support and program evaluation.

Sponsor or support

Future sponsorship or in-kind support should align with the Foundation’s mission, preserve charitable independence and use accurate public claims about status and impact.

Start a conversation

Email nonprofit@mrblindbandit.net with your organization, idea, proposed contribution and the public-benefit outcome you hope to support.

What a useful first message includes

To help the Foundation respond well, an email to nonprofit@mrblindbandit.net can include:

Your name, organization (if any) and how you would like to be contacted.
Which program framework your idea relates to: Accessible Tech Lab, Build Without Barriers, Creative Access, Mentor Network, Open Resources or Accessibility by Example.
What you are offering, such as time, expertise, equipment, software or a partnership idea.
Who would benefit and what a good result would look like.
Any accessibility needs you have for meetings or materials, so the Foundation can plan for them.

How conversations are planned to be handled

The planned process is:

Your message is read and acknowledged by email.
The idea is checked against the Foundation’s charitable and educational purposes and the program frameworks.
Possible conflicts of interest are disclosed and reviewed under the conflict rules in the adopted Bylaws.
Anything involving funding, formal partnership or work with minors or vulnerable participants needs Board approval and appropriate safeguards before it starts.

Planned, not yet in operation: there is no formal volunteer, mentor or sponsorship program open yet. Replying to a message is not an offer of a role, partnership or payment.

Volunteering and mentoring expectations

When volunteer and mentor roles are created, they are intended to require respect for participants, protection of confidential information, accessible communication, honesty about qualifications and compliance with safeguarding rules. Mentors would share practical experience, not guarantees about jobs, admissions or income.

Money and in-kind support

Contributions to the Foundation are not tax-deductible at this time, because federal recognition under Section 501(c)(3) is not yet claimed. Any future sponsorship or in-kind support should match the mission, keep the Foundation independent and use accurate public claims. The Foundation is separate from the personal support options on the main Mr. Blindbandit site; those payments are personal support, not gifts to the Foundation.

The Foundation’s mobile app is in review on Google Play, and the iOS version is in development. Updates about the app and programs will be posted on these pages.
