The world is filled with stories and storytellers. Our Project Grants support people and projects that turn their lens on the give-and-take of family and care.
Each year, Working Assumptions awards six $10,000 Project Grants to support visual storytelling projects that inspire audiences and/or participants to look at family in new, meaningful ways. We invite proposals that employ photography or photo-based art for journalistic, artistic, therapeutic, educational, and research purposes. Our funding is unrestricted, allowing recipients complete creative freedom—provided that the project is intended for public consumption, and work on it began prior to the grant application deadline.
We offer grants to support projects that inspire audiences and/or participants to look at family in meaningfully new ways through photography.
Meet the grantees and their projects from prior years of the Working Assumptions Project Grants.
