Our mobile Vision Clinics provided services at 34 partner, non-profit health clinics throughout Georgia. Our model for delivering care is efficient and comprehensive: Volunteer optometrists and ophthalmologists provide eye exams, and populations at risk for eye disease are educated in the prevention and treatment of these conditions. After receiving eye services, patients are provided prescription eyewear fabricated at our headquarters in the Chamblee, Georgia Optical Lab. If a progressive condition is diagnosed, the client is then referred to our Surgery Program. 1081503 In 2017, the Lighthouse provided 1,610 hearing aids to 864 Georgians in need. Through partnerships with the Pubic Service Commission, over 170 audiologists, hearing aid manufacturers, and collaborative efforts with other deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) interested parties, we were able to serve patients in 153 of the 159 Georgia Counties. Our hearing progam offers high quality, affordable access to Georgia families who are uninsured, underinsured and fall between the gaps in Medicaid, PeachCare and the federal limit for families receiving subsidies or tax credits. In 2014, we expanded the program to reach DHH children. Our pediatric program has grown to serve 52 patients in 39 counties last year. We are looking to continue to expand our reach for the DHH children throughout Georgia. The program expenses are approximately 23% percent of the retail costs of providing the same quality of service. 223999 In 2017, the Lighthouses Vision Surgery Program provided 685 surgical procedures for uninsured Georgians. Our Vision Surgery Program facilitates corneal transplants, cataract and retinal surgeries, and surgeries to prepare eye sockets for prosthetic eyes. We also provide surgery for diabetes-related vision loss and keratoconus. Partnerships with over 200 ophthalmologists, hospitals, and other medical providers enable us to provide eye surgeries for one-forth the typical cost, with the value of in-kind professional services exceeding $734,000 in 2017. 2464704 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false true 131 0 36 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false GA X X Michelle Davidson CPA 4043253630 5582 Peachtree Road Chamblee GA 30341 X Mark Rice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JC Coefield District Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Clower Immediate Past Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kembra Smith District Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Townsend Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Hannah Flynn Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl C Lee District Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Willie Alexander Member at Large 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Saylor Member at Large 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Kelly Member at Large 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Threatt District Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Proulx Member at Large 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Norton Council Representative 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Hubbard Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charlene Fang Member at Large 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Davidson CFO 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Looper Chief Advocacy Officer 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 1829583 497760 1829583 Hearing Revenue 621300 1075062 1075062 Sight Services Revenue 621300 127221 127221 Recycling 621300 11425 11425 1213708 463103 463103 4789911 4273221 516690 516690 516690 4023084 1730398 0 463103 X 70192 35096 28077 7019 1140082 876414 108531 155137 173306 116122 23189 33995 95013 71559 10724 12730 132390 132390 492044 396929 18718 76397 17169 505 16664 16436 12327 1644 2465 43847 32885 4385 6577 28350 18900 4725 4725 25378 20524 1284 3570 7878 2029 4101 1748 144701 96468 24117 24116 34832 20684 11171 2977 Repairs and maintenance 82588 57642 12473 12473 Optical costs 73227 73227 Hearing aids and molds 572545 572545 Postage and printing 38923 27376 2175 9372 55793 33977 17689 4127 3244694 2464704 405898 374092 29990 109014 419757 267042 61446 133124 157382 649303 5767 16675 3086418 1084829 2136577 2001589 16244435 9937724 1539000 8958886 375 6531 20594729 22079888 264042 310291 49500 49500 313542 359791 X 8844398 9603741 73856 16617 11362933 12099739 20281187 21720097 20594729 22079888 778390 678582 -18062 0 X false true X true false X 1860356 1584289 1485823 1532915 2220789 8684172 251901 367192 373674 450623 1213708 2657098 2112257 1951481 1859497 1983538 3434497 11341270 4994 2000 6994 4994 2000 6994 11334276 361123 257989 1088330 831175 979597 3518214 361123 257989 1088330 831175 979597 3518214 25874 6597 32471 2499254 2216067 2947827 2814713 4414094 14891955 0.76110 0.78350 0.24000 0.21000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11075079 1147713 409268 72488 11741036 11858689 -267712 444517 71381 11075079 12047638 394299 506768 76480 11858689 287854 287854 287554 300 287854 1.00000 true false 401870 401870 1767066 359786 1407280 792109 635657 156452 125373 89386 35987 2001589 Acreage held in endowment 1715000 F Corporate and Municipal Bonds 6763850 F US Government Securities 350214 F Mutual FundsCEFUIT 129822 F 8958886 Utility Deposits 375 Accrued interest receivable 6156 6531 9792291 678582 5181175 5859757 3932534 90550 90550 4023084 8353381 5181175 5181175 3172206 72488 72488 3244694 Endowment funds intended uses (Part V, line 4) Endowment funds are intended to be used for the overall mission of the Organization.
