VIPS Receives Grant from MAC Construction and MSD

May 8, 2026

Diane Nelson, Justine Aycock, and MAC Construction staff members pose for a photo with a giant check for $29,100.

Since 1980, MAC Construction has grown from a start-up excavation company into one of the most trusted names in civil construction by continually evolving to meet the needs of its customers and community.

That commitment to building stronger communities extends far beyond construction projects. Through the support of MAC Construction & Excavating and the Louisville MSD Community Benefits Program, VIPS received a $29,100 investment to support our Early Childhood Intervention Program.

This funding helps provide qualified, vision-specific teachers to children and families throughout Jefferson County, bringing support directly into the home. By partnering alongside parents, VIPS helps children who are blind or have low vision build the foundational skills and confidence needed to reach their highest potential.

Thank you, MAC Construction & Excavating, for your incredible generosity, and thank you, MSD Community Benefits, for making this possible.

This is Harvey! He has been crushing his goals lately! His mom, Daisy, has been working on encouraging him to sit independently while using his vision in his lower field. As you can see in the picture, he is pushing his switch to activate his transformer car, which is his favorite toy! This is no small feat for him, as reaching and looking at the same time is challenging. Daisy was so pleased at how well he was able to not only use his vision, but activate his core muscles to remain in a sitting position. We are so proud of Harvey!
