Do you believe in the power of images to connect the world?
The World Press Photo Foundation’s mission is to connect the world to the stories that matter and to work towards a more diverse visual journalism industry that celebrates a multiplicity of voices to better represent our world.
Help us create even more impact by supporting our mission and becoming a World Press Photo Associate.
Here is the impact that you could have as a World Press Photo Associate:
Bring photography exhibitions to locations where censorship limits press freedom.
Develop and support emerging photojournalists and visual storytellers from around the world through our education programs.
Provide safety training for journalists working in high risk areas.
Build a photographers’ aid fund, for photojournalists at risk.
“In our current world, images play an increasingly important role. World Press Photo offers an essential platform for urgent, sometimes untold, stories from all parts of the world. As Associates, we are proud to make a modest contribution to this. At the same time, it offers us the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of photography during meetings organized especially for Associates.”
Jeroen van Ingen, Associate and chairman FOAM board
