Where to find a list of "Photography Grants"

[carlprad]

Hello

I am a Fine Art Photographer.

I want to find a good list of photography grants I can apply for.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find such a list or where to look for available photography grants.

Also, I know some of you have already created your own database of grants. I would be very grateful, if you saw fit to share some of the names of those grants.

Finally, does anyone know where I might find a good "grant writer" for the arts?

Thanks

Yeah, that would be the kind of information I am looking for too. I have written many grant applications over the years, but I need a good list as well.:angel:

Ask for a directory of grant making bodies at your local library.

There isn't one list out there but google is your friend. Think about what you want a grant for, production, exhibition, a book etc. Also does geography come into play either where you live or where the photographs will be taken?

Brooks Institute for Photography in California.

Second... Visit and Chat with any State's Scholarship Commission. I used to do some work with the Oregon State Scholarship Commission. They had a largish paperbound book of grants, scholarships, etc. It was amazing at that time (Mid 70's) how many of these items went un-applied for because of the private nature, and obscurity of the funding agencies available.

Thirdly, there are private entrepreneurs who make a tidy living by finding such funding at your request. They make their money on commission and it's a lucrative and legal business enterprise. I knew a lady who was making about $75k a year counseling and locating educational funding for student families. BEWARE $ up front scammers, or on-line enterprises. There should be a few of these people you can "face to face" with in any sizable community and who should have Chamber of Commerce and Dunn & Bradstreet credentials.

If a sub forum ever gets started I will share my experiences and post links to upcoming deadlines. Perhaps someone can suggest starting a sub forum to the bosses?

Words of wisdom folks. Networks, collectives, foundations are the reality right now.

I proposed this a year or two ago but perhaps I'll repeat.

Perhaps a forum dedicated to how working folks are moving forward right now? Grants, pursuing assignment work etc. how does one get started.

We have a few folks in the know here. Could be a real asset to the forum

I will pass on what I know as well.
