Getty images grants for editorial photography and grants for Good

.
Yes, another good one !
With my part time work at a foundation working in international development cooperation, I can only agree of course with such grants and the photos that raise awareness for world issues as poverty, crisis, injustice and the non profits that help people. (Could our organisation initiate a grant project with a Southern photographer?).

Getty Images introduces new “GRANTS FOR GOOD” program. Two New Grants Expand Program and Support Photographers’ Work With Non-profits.

SEATTLE, NEW YORK and LONDON – FEBRUARY 19, 2009 – Getty Images, Inc., the world’s leading creator and distributor of visual content and other digital media, today announced an expansion of its photographer grant program to involve the creative community, whose work often benefits the non-profit sector. Getty Images Grants for Good will award two photographers $15,000 each to cover costs associated with creating compelling imagery to raise awareness about the issues and work of a non-profit they admire.

Deadlines 15 April and 15 May 2009
