“Sydney, Australia — 22, April 2009 — Microsoft Australia and Vision Australia today announced an expansion of their strategic relationship with the provision of Microsoft’s biggest software donation grant in Australia to date, valued at over AUD$6.6 million (US$4.5 million)*

With 300,000 Australians currently blind or with low vision, the grant will help Vision Australia to significantly enhance the services it provides to support thousands of Australians. The grant will also assist with the upgrade of Vision Australia’s IT systems, ultimately enabling greater collaboration between staff, enhancing fundraising efforts, and improving the organisation’s overall operational capability and efficiency. “
