ASMP Foundation Seeks Grant Applications
The ASMP Foundation is now accepting grant proposals for summer 2006 funding. The deadline for this grant cycle is May 15. Application forms, lists of past grant recipients, grant guidelines and other information is available from the ASMP web site at www.asmp.org/foundation
Twice a year, ASMP Foundation grants are awarded in support of a wide range of programs to benefit photographers and the creative community they are a part of. Grant amounts vary depending upon need, but typically do not exceed $1,500. The foundation does not offer assistance grants to individual artists. In past years, ASMP Foundation grants have helped fund university seminars, non-profit educational and arts organizations and community education programs in the United States and abroad.
Applicants will be notified within 60 days of the deadline if their application has been accepted. All grant decisions are made on a nondiscriminatory basis.
