The PhotoShelter Stimulus Plan:
Grants for Local Photography Events

The economy is slamming our industry. We see it, we hate it, and we want to help.

If you're doing good things for photography in your community, we want to hear from you!

What's the Program?

  • You're organizing a photo-related event and need cash, prizes, speakers or other support.
  • We want to help local organizations, events and contests.
  • We can provide up to $500 cash, raffle prizes and discounts, group accounts for events, photo contest judging platforms, speakers and educational content, and promotion on our blog.

How Do I Apply?

  • Organizers, fill out the application below.
  • Non-PhotoShelter members may apply, but we reserve the right to favor PhotoShelter members!
  • You'll get an email confirming we've received your application.
  • We decide winners on the 15th of every month.
  • If your request is urgent, call us at 212.206.0808 - we'll talk it through.
  • If you need more than $500, go ahead and ask. Why not? Maybe we'll be a good match for larger sponsorship.
