Partnership Spotlight

National Grid

Helen Keller Services and the National Grid Foundation share a partnership rooted in more than a century of community connection. From our shared Brooklyn beginnings to today, National Grid and its Foundation have consistently supported our mission—most notably through generous, ongoing grants to our Children’s Learning Center and other key programs. Their support helps us provide high-quality education and vital services to children and adults who are blind, DeafBlind or have other disabilities. We are deeply grateful for their long-standing dedication to empowering individuals and strengthening the communities we serve.
