LSI Philanthropy Fund

In 2015, the LSI Philanthropy Fund was established as a means for the Society to give back to the larger photographic community. Its mission is to raise money in order to fund the LSI Photography Grant.

Open to all photographers, the grant has been established to provide financial support for deserving, talented photographers, who are starting or in the process of completing a personal photographic project and to provide opportunities for their work to be seen by a larger audience. The grant is awarded each October at the LSI annual meeting. The applications process is announced during the summer preceding the annual meeting. Check back regularly for details. Grant recipients are featured LSI’s acclaimed Viewfinder quarterly journal, have the chance to be featured in a Leica Gallery, and more.

DONATE - The grant is sponsored by LSI, 14070 Proton Rd., Dallas, TX 75244. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible contribution (check with your financial advisor) towards the LSI Philanthropy Fund, please donate here.
