Kansas Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (KABVI) was founded in 1920 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Comprised totally of volunteers, all activities are conducted by individuals contributing their own time and resources.

KABVI strives to increase the independence, opportunities, and quality of life for blind and visually impaired Kansans.

KABVI maintains the Kansas Braille and Archival Center on Kansas Blind, a small braille library and an archival library containing information on blindness and visual impairment.

KABVI receives donations of used adaptive equipment for the blind and visually impaired, such as low vision devices, talking items, and adapted computers, and recycles these items back into the community to serve others who may need them. They recycle some items free of charge, and charge minimal fees for redistribution of larger high-tech items.

KABVI also provides meeting space for low vision and blindness-related support groups and provides volunteer peer consultation.
