Hi, I'm Griffin

Foreseeable Future Foundation (FFF) is a leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the visually impaired and blind community through educational awareness and sports, recreation and community. The organization works to break down barriers by providing access to specialized equipment, funding opportunities, and in-person experiences that empower individuals to live active, independent lives.

Since its inception, Foreseeable Future Foundation has impacted more than 5,000 visually impaired and blind individuals and their families, fostering a stronger, more inclusive community across the country.

FFF was founded by Griffin Pinkow, whose personal journey is the driving force behind the organization’s mission. After going from a healthy teenager to gradually losing his vision, Griffin faced immense physical and emotional challenges. Rather than allowing those challenges to define him, he chose to turn adversity into action.

Before the age of 35, Griffin has completed four marathons, built a nonprofit dedicated to serving others facing vision loss, and is now pursuing a spot on the Paralympic Team in tandem cycling. His story of resilience and determination has inspired countless individuals—both sighted and visually impaired—to rethink what is possible.

Through Griffin’s leadership and vision, Foreseeable Future Foundation continues to expand its reach, creating opportunities, raising awareness, and changing lives every day.

Hello! My name is Griffin Pinkow. I suffer from retinitis pigmentosa which is a retinal degenerative disease. At the age of 12, I was playing baseball and realized that I was having trouble seeing balls in the outfield. Before my diagnosis of RP, I thought I was someone who just couldn’t see very well in the dark, but with the diagnosis, I knew it was related to a much bigger problem. As I finished up high school, I had accepted that I couldn’t change the fate of my vision. I then began asking myself, how can I overcome my visual impairment?

In college, I worked with several organizations that represented the visually impaired. I enjoyed working with these organizations but found that they were focused solely on research and not on the individual living life without sight.

While attending Susquehanna University in 2013 I began laying the groundwork to start the Foreseeable Future Foundation. Our focus is improving the lives of the V.I.P.s through sports and recreation.

Our mission is to enable the visually impaired to live fulfilling lives and to increase public awareness of challenges faced by the blind. We are committed to bringing the sighted and sightless community together to build one network that is mutually beneficial and enriching for all.
