Vital Impacts, co-founded by National Geographic photographer Ami Vitale, is offering a grant and mentoring opportunity.
We will support one photographer with a $20,000 professional grant and six photographers with $5,000 grants. Our goal is to nurture documentary projects that spotlight solutions-based, local environmental stories.
In addition to the grants, Vital Impacts will select ten emerging photographers to participate in an intensive mentorship program and will invite all applicants to participate in an online mentorship series.
