Photographic Education Grant

The Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation helps fund important endeavors promoting photographic education and documentary photography across the United States. Its goal is to raise awareness of and appreciation for the field of photography, as well as for the photographers themselves. The Foundation prioritizes educational programs of all levels. Unique, well-conceived programs that raise awareness of and appreciation for photography, and those that bring photography into a community, are highly valued. Programs with a proven track record that maintain connections with and utilize alumni are also of special interest.

Grants awarded to organizations typically range from $5,000-25,000. Grants awarded to applicants with a fiscal sponsor range from $1,000-15,000.
