About Us

VisionSpring increases lifelong earning, learning, safety, and well-being through eyeglasses for people vulnerable to poverty. We believe in the wonder of clear vision for everybody. Our vision is to ensure that everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050, and your role as a Senior Proposal Writer will be instrumental in achieving this inspiring goal.

We sell and deliver radically affordable optical products and services and develop markets for eyeglasses. This 700-year-old technology has failed to reach 1 billion people in need of vision correction, most of whom live on less than $4 a day.

We serve low-income consumers, not as beneficiaries but as customers. Our customers expect high-quality, affordable products and eyecare services, and are willing to spend their limited discretionary income on the immediate and tangible benefits of vision correction.

As a social enterprise, we are purpose first. We blend philanthropic and earned revenue, drawing on nonprofit and business practices, and utilize sales and efficiency metrics, as well as social impact measures, to bring vision correction to an ever-growing number of people.

We catalyze collaborative action in an expansive, multisector partner network and use our evidence and experience to influence systems change and close the global clear vision gap.

We believe in scaling our impact, not our organization. We are a lean team of doers, which means you'll have the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities and make a direct impact on our mission.

Our big goal : Everyone who needs eyeglasses will have them by 2050.
