Through the generous support of members, individuals, and commercial entities, the GSO Foundation funds projects that support underserved populations and address unmet needs related to eye health and access to care in Georgia.  Specific projects are chosen from direct application, identification of a community need, or other circumstances appropriate for the Foundation's mission and purpose.
