Grants for Nonprofit Photography
Nonprofit agencies and associations that promote and support photography operate via donations and other third-party funding, often in the form of grant money. Photography is a unique and intriguing art form, although it is one that can become costly. Grants from private foundations and associations can help offset some of the costs associated with photography for nonprofit groups that have limited budgets and financial resources.
