The Doug Pensinger Photography Fund supports emerging and early-career sports photographers.

Photographers with more than 3 years cumulative paid professional sports photography experience are considered beyond the scope of the DPPF's programs.

The DPPF is committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity and to providing free merit-based access to its programs. DPPF programs are not limited to U.S. citizens, but the DPPF is not able to provide support that is prohibited under U.S. law. International applicants should also be aware that the DPPF is not able to provide support for visa procurement.

Previous DPPF grant recipients are not eligible to apply.
