For many years, our organization has run an affordable eyeglasses clinic for those who are unable to afford the full cost of eyeglasses. About five years ago, a volunteer group started an eyeglasses recycling program. Individuals mail us their eyeglasses, and we use some of them in our clinic. The volume of eyeglasses received has increased significantly in the last two years. We would like to conduct market research to determine a strategy to convert these eyeglass donors into future monetary donors. This could involve market research and interviews to better understand the reasons why people give us their eyeglasses. We are open to approaches. While this project can be done remotely, individuals in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area are preferred due to their proximity to the project.

Our eyeglasses recycling program is compelling for donors of eyeglasses, but we need to figure out a way to convert them to monetary donors. We need help because these funds support our organization's many programs.

We are ready to provide data, support, and more. This project will be immediately implemented once it's complete. We have staff resources that can be helpful, as well as data about the eyeglasses donated to date.
