Mission
MindsEye translates vision into audio by providing radio and internet broadcasts of periodicals and live descriptions of visual elements at theatres, museums and festivals to people who are blind, have low vision or are unable to
-
MindsEye produced over 130 hours a week of unique programming that featured volunteers reading from magazines, newspapers, books and retail ads. This programming was distributed to over 13,000 people who are blind, low vision, or had another physical disability that prevents them from reading. Broadcasts played over closed circuit radio, several apps, a phone service, and on MindsEye's website. Additionally, all hours of programming are available as mp3s each week that are available for registered listeners to download, 20 of these hours are available in specialized DAISY format, making them easier to navigate.
Expenses $175,413 · Revenue $893
-
MindsEye began an audio description service, training 30 volunteers to go to theatres, museums and other cultural events to describe action on stage or art. A total of 31 events were described to people who were visually impaired.
Expenses $177,305 · Revenue $57,645

BeepBall is described by blind athletes as "a dream come true," it adds a spin on baseball that allows players with a visual disability to compete on the same field with sighted players. Guided by sound rather than sight, three key things make BeepBall different from traditional baseball. One is the ball. The BeepBall is a Chicago-style softball with an internal speaker that makes a beeping sound when activated. Next are the bases; there are only two: first base and third base. The bases are made of dense foam covered in vinyl fabric and are in the shape of a four-foot pillar with a cubed base that houses a buzzing speaker system. That speaker system is activated manually by an umpire with a switch box. The third difference, and most important leveling the playing field, is the blindfold. Continued on Schedule O

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
