Vital Impacts is dedicated to supporting visual storytellers who capture compelling, solutions-focused environmental stories at the local level. We are excited to offer one (1) $20,000 grant and six (6) $5,000 grants to help bring these vital stories to life.

Grant recipients will have twelve months to develop their projects, with support from Vital Impacts to publish and showcase their work.

Additionally, ten (10) emerging photographers will be chosen to participate in an intensive mentorship program, designed to nurture their growth and enhance their craft.

All applicants are also welcome to join our comprehensive online mentorship series, which provides valuable insights and guidance to all who are interested.
