From Foundation grantee to international disability leader. Some stories come full circle.

More than two decades ago, Blanche Fischer Foundation helped fund the first office of what would become the Eastern Oregon Center for Independent Living (EOCIL).

Today, EOCIL serves communities across Oregon through offices in Ontario, Pendleton, La Grande, The Dalles, Redmond, Burns, and Hood River.

Kirt Toombs now serves as President of the U.S. International Council on Disabilities and continues advocating for disability rights on a national and international stage.

We're proud to have Kirt currently serving on the Blanche Fischer Foundation Board of Directors, helping guide the future of an organization that once helped support his vision.

In this video, Kirt speaks about the importance of people with disabilities being heard, represented, and empowered.

His journey is a powerful reminder that investing in people and their vision can create impact that extends far beyond a single grant.

Most accessibility barriers I encounter are not structural.

A chair placed in a hallway limits my access.

A display blocking an aisle at the grocery store restricts my access to the things I want to buy.

A rental bike left on a sidewalk prevents me from safely exploring a new city.

A box stored in an accessible restroom hinders access to toilets.

Each individual barrier may seem small, but they add up quickly.

Accessibility doesn't always require a big renovation.

Sometimes, businesses just need to pay attention to the little things.

Often, the easiest accessibility improvements are free.

💬 What's a small accessibility barrier you wish more people noticed?

🌟 Grant Impact Spotlight 🌟

We're excited to share T is enjoying a beautiful day outdoors with his new TrackWheel attachment!

Funded through a Blanche Fischer Foundation grant, the TrackWheel transforms a manual wheelchair into an all-terrain mobility solution, making it easier to navigate trails, parks, gravel paths, and other uneven surfaces.

For T, this means greater access to the outdoors, increased independence, and more opportunities to enjoy the activities and places he loves.

At the Blanche Fischer Foundation, we believe that mobility is more than movement—it's freedom, connection, and participation in community life.

Congratulations, T! We're honored to be part of your journey. ♿💙

A kitchen should be a place of nourishment—not a source of frustration or risk.

For many people with physical disabilities, something as routine as preparing a meal can mean struggling to reach cabinets, safely use appliances, or navigate counters that weren't designed with accessibility in mind.

When kitchens are inaccessible, independence is limited one task at a time.

At Blanche Fischer Foundation, we know that accessibility isn't just about mobility—it's about preserving dignity, confidence, and the ability to care for yourself in your own home.

Because everyone deserves a kitchen that works for them, not against them.
