This is a big year for us – 2025 will mark the fifth, and final, year of our special five-year grant cycle, the 1492/1619 American Aftermaths grant. I’m so proud of TAP’s board, which committed to this special grant, which we launched in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd and the protests that broke out across the United States in 2020.

Our 2025 grant application for the 1492/1619 American Aftermaths grant is now open. [Please note that the application cycle for our traditional post-conflict grant will be announced in late December or early January].

We’ve mentioned this before, but we’d love to see more explorations of Asian and Hispanic experiences. We’d also love to get proposals from white photographers who want to examine what it means to be white in the aftermaths of enslavement and colonialism.

We’re always making a note of resources that provide interesting insights into these aftermaths. Here are a few that caught our attention this year.
