I know one person who was able to get a religious
organization to donate funds for a scanner. I
think--don't know for sure, but I'd guess--that there
are civic organizations that would be happy to help a
person who couldn't afford it have access to books by
donating a computer or braille reader or daisy machine
or whatever. Also, Eagle Scouts and some high schools
require service projects. Raising funds for such a
purpose would qualify, I should think.
