Named in honor of Glaucoma Research Foundation’s beloved financial founder, the Blanche Matthias Society was established to specially acknowledge bequests and donors who notify us of planned giving.
Bequests are a wonderful way to support our endeavors and ensure the future of glaucoma research, while also providing significant tax benefits. We can provide sample bequest language to share with your attorney or financial advisor.
