Mission Statement
Magnum Foundation is a nonprofit organization that expands creativity and diversity in documentary photography, activating new audiences and ideas through the innovative use of images. Through grant making and mentorship, Magnum Foundation supports a global network of social justice and human rights-focused photographers and experiments with new models for storytelling.
About This Cause
Founded in 2007 by members of the Magnum Photos cooperative, Magnum Foundation was created to sustain independent visual storytelling on social issues. Since then, Magnum Foundation has made more than 250 direct grants to visual storytellers. Through production funds and project development assistance, we support both emerging and recognized artists at various stages of their processes. Selected projects engage with a range of styles, from classic reportage to more conceptual frameworks, and explore new visual approaches, such as collaborating with other disciplines or experimenting with emerging technologies. We work with an international committee of nominators to ensure we are inviting proposals from people whose authorship is underrepresented within the field of documentary photography. Over 60% of grantees are from outside the US and Western Europe, with emphasis on photographers working within their own communities.
