The Manasota Lighthouse for the Blind was established as a not for profit in 1985 and was run by volunteers until 1988 when the first executive director was hired. Since its inception, the Lighthouse has provided quality education and specialized services to children and adults with vision loss. The Lighthouse does not charge clients or their families for these services, and does not bill Medicare or private insurance. Lighthouse programs are funded in part by the Florida Department of Education Division of Blind Services, the Manatee Board of County Commissioners, private contributions, bequests and fundraising efforts by the Lighthouse.
