Working Assumptions Project Grants

Each year, Working Assumptions awards six $10,000 Project Grants to support visual storytelling that inspires audiences and/or participants to look at family in new, meaningful ways. We invite proposals that employ photography and photo-based art for journalistic, artistic, therapeutic, educational, and research purposes. Our funding is unrestricted, allowing recipients complete creative freedom—provided that the project is intended for public consumption, and work on it began prior to the grant application deadline. The application deadline for 2025 is May 15th. Apply now!
