Apply for the Vital Impacts Grant: A Special Opportunity from Annie Griffiths

Vital Impacts is thrilled to announce a special Grant supported by Annie Griffiths, one of National Geographic's first female photographers and the founder of Ripple Effect Images.

This $2,000 grant will be awarded to a photographer who best demonstrates how they will use the funds to document and support the natural world and humanity’s relationship with it. The recipient will be selected by Annie and Vital Impacts’ founder, Ami Vitale.

Open to photographers worldwide, this opportunity has no application fee. Whether you’re an emerging or established photographer, we encourage you to apply and share your vision.

Annie is making this grant possible by donating fifty percent of all proceeds from her thoughtful, witty, and poignant Substack newsletter, You're Not That Nice. By subscribing here, you can help sustain this and future Vital Impacts Flash Grants, empowering visual storytellers globally.

The deadline to apply is Earth Day, April 22, 2025.
