About This Campaign

We are currently trying to raise $50,000 to support our grants and scholarships fund. With every donation, we are able to provide more grants and scholarships to equity-deserving storytellers all over the globe. Help us reach our goal!

OUR VISION

We are a global community imagining collective liberation and the protection of Mother Earth, through revolutionary, ethical storytelling. We are more than photographers, and we believe that when we change the story, we change everything.

OUR MISSION

We are a global community that cares about collective liberation and protecting Mother Earth through ethical storytelling. We do this through our Revolutionary Storyteller Grant Program, Micro-Grants, and other grant-making and capacity-building programs. We also inspire new generations of storytellers through our acclaimed Storytelling School workshops, Storytelling for Change Series & Podcast, annual events, and other initiatives and resources. We also firmly uphold the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and UNDRIP, and prioritize capacity-building for community-based storytellers and community-led initiatives within our work.

OUR VALUES

We are committed to:

Ethics: We strive towards ethical literacy in our work. See our code of ethics.
Decolonization: In acknowledging the constraints and contradictions of operating within a capitalist framework, we are committed to striving towards decolonizing all aspects of our work and the way we operate as an organization for the ultimate goal of collective liberation of all things.
Intentional Impact: Supporting storytelling geared towards tangible and regenerative change based on local community wants and needs. We believe developing collaborative, reciprocal relationships with our stakeholders is an integral part of the work we do.
Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Indigeneity: Respecting and celebrating what makes us all unique and creating environments that are inclusive of those with diverse lived experience. We believe that peace and unity can only come through justice and equity.
Intersectionality: Striving towards an intersectional lens in the work we do, understanding we each carry unique positionalities that support collective liberation, and that the most interesting stories that take us there involve intersecting and interconnected topics and issues.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We acknowledge that our work takes place on many lands, on the territories of many Indigenous peoples. We recognize that Indigenous peoples make up 5% of the global population, and have been successful at safeguarding over 80% of the world’s biodiversity. We recognize that land acknowledgments are merely a starting point in recognizing Indigenous peoples and communities as the rightful stewards of land across the planet since time immemorial, and that rematriation of land and Indigenous culture are key steps in bringing healing, justice, and regeneration forward.

OUR IMPACT

To date we have supported over 20 Revolutionary Storyteller Grantees. We have distributed over 100 Scholarships to our workshops and 20 Micro-Grants, addressing all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals / United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). We have hundreds of members in countries all over the world, and our directory of photographers is available to editors and publishers. We have accrued over 1 million views on our video channels.

Our Members, Storytelling School participants and Revolutionary Storyteller Grantees have created tangible change all over the world. Some highlights include conserving 10 hectares of rainforest in Sumatra, supported reforestation efforts by planting hundreds of trees, sent several equity-seeking girls to school in India, helped human trafficking survivors in Kenya, and assisted with establishing a marine protection area in Mozambique.
