CSR Advisory Board

The CSR Advisory Board of the Eye Foundation of America serves as a strategic think tank and action platform that brings together distinguished leaders from business, philanthropy, public health, and social impact. The Board plays a pivotal role in shaping sustainable, scalable, and high-impact CSR partnerships aimed at achieving a World Without Childhood Blindness.

Our Purpose

The Advisory Board exists to align corporate responsibility with public health outcomes, ensuring that every CSR investment translates into measurable, long-term change for children at risk of preventable blindness.

With over four decades of on-ground experience in pediatric eye care, Eye Foundation of America leverages the Board’s expertise to design programs that are ethical, transparent, replicable, and globally relevant.

Key Roles & Responsibilities

The CSR Advisory Board provides guidance and leadership across the following areas:

Strategic Direction

Advising on CSR frameworks that integrate child eye health with education, nutrition, and primary healthcare.

Corporate Partnerships

Enabling collaborations with corporates, PSUs, family offices, and global enterprises to scale impact-driven eye care programs.

Program Design & Impact Measurement

Supporting outcome-based models with strong governance, monitoring, and reporting standards aligned with global ESG goals.

Policy & Advocacy

Strengthening engagement with governments, multilateral agencies, and global institutions to embed childhood blindness prevention into public health systems.

Innovation & Sustainability

Encouraging innovation in screening, early intervention, tele-ophthalmology, and workforce training to ensure long-term sustainability.

Our Focus Areas

CSR initiatives guided by the Advisory Board primarily focus on:

Prevention and treatment of avoidable childhood blindness
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) screening and care
School vision screening and early intervention
Capacity building of doctors, nurses, and vision technicians
Community awareness and parent education
Cross-border programs in India, Africa, the UK, and underserved regions globally

Why It Matters

Over 90% of learning happens through vision. When a child loses sight, the impact extends beyond health — affecting education, productivity, and dignity for a lifetime. The CSR Advisory Board ensures that corporate participation becomes a force for generational transformation, not just short-term philanthropy.

Unite for Good

The CSR Advisory Board embodies a shared belief:

When business leadership and compassion come together, millions of children can see, learn, and thrive.

Together, we are not just funding programs — we are securing futures.
