Each year, Working Assumptions awards six unrestricted Project Grants of $10,000 each to support photography and photo-based art projects that explore the everyday give-and-take of family, caregiving, and interdependence. They believe visual storytelling can illuminate the complexities of family life today — fostering compassion and sparking reflection and dialogue around these themes. They welcome photography-focused proposals across artistic, therapeutic, educational, and research contexts.

Funding is unrestricted. All submitted projects must be designed for public consumption. There is no fee to apply.

Applications close June 1, 2026. Learn more at workingassumptions.org/grants
