David Frank has helped expand career opportunities for people with vision loss through his support of the expansion of Beyond Vision, a Milwaukee-based social enterprise that provides employment opportunities for the blind and visually impaired.

Beyond Vision purchased the former Samโ€™s Club in West Allis to build a universally designed workspace to house all of its operations in one location, including administration, customer care, assembly, packaging and a machine shop. All departments employ people with vision loss.

Frank helped the organization navigate the new market tax credit process for the project. The renovation of the 130,00-square-foot facility received financing support from PNC Bank through a collaborative effort between its commercial banking business and its tax credit solutions group. 

โ€œFor many people with vision loss, Beyond Vision represents a pathway to their first job. Employees develop their sense of self-worth, advance their skills through onsite training and ultimately gain economic independence,โ€ said Jim Kerlin, president and chief executive officer of Beyond Vision. โ€œWithout David Frank and PNC Bankโ€™s support, our VisABILITY Center would still be a dream.โ€
