Cure AMD Foundation™ has been approved and verified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3), non-profit, charitable organization, with public charity status. We provide the scientific hypothesis, research, and writings of Dr. Knobbe and associated colleagues, free of charge wherever possible. We have minimal revenue stream associated with providing this revolutionary hypothesis and supportive research, which is provided in the form of free content for physicians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, and the public alike.
We provide free educational seminars, videos, and where possible, audio content, without charge. Books in print are offered for a nominal fee above the cost of printing at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book retailers, which helps to offset Cure AMD Foundation’s operating expenses.
Our organization provides this information, including free web-based content, live presentations, presentation videos, presentation transcripts, research reviews and other services for altruistic, humanitarian purposes. It is our intent to save vision from the ravages of AMD, to enhance health, and to improve the quality of lives, on a worldwide basis.
It is our collective belief that, by providing our services and content for free, some of those who benefit, as well as some philanthropic organizations, will return with charitable contributions. This, of course, will help us to further spread this message and, additionally, will provide for Dr. Knobbe and colleagues to complete further research, strengthening support for the hypothesis. This will undoubtedly convince more ophthalmologists, optometrists, and vision scientists, leading to widespread adoption of the principles and philosophy originally proffered by Dr. Knobbe.
