The Open Society Institute's Documentary Photography Project has opened their 2009 competition for distribution grants ranging from $5,000 - $30,000. Eligible photographers must have already completed a body of work surrounding issues of social justice, and would use the grant in partnership with a non-profit organization, NGO, or a community-based organization as a means for enacting social change through photography.
And from Open Society's website :
Eligibility
+ Proposals must present strong images that are contextualized, when necessary, with text, sound, or other media.
+ Proposals must address a current social justice issue. Preference will be given to work that coincides with the issues and geographical areas that concern OSI.
+ Proposals must engage a specific audience, community, and/or site and use creative distribution strategies that are tailored specifically for that context.
+ Applicants must partner with an organization that will provide administrative, programmatic, and financial and/or in-kind support.
The following projects are not eligible for funding:
+ Projects that involve the making of new photographs;
+ Projects whose only goal is to raise awareness in a general way;
+ Book production;
+ Gallery exhibitions that serve only the interests of the photographer or the gallery;
+ Dated material, unless the project serves a historical purpose
+ Documentary film or video.
