COVID-19 Relief Fund Application Process
The NPPA/NPPF COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund is an initiative by the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) in partnership with the National Press Photographers Foundation (NPPF), our 501(c)(3) sister organization, to raise funds for NPPA members facing dire financial situations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Emergency Fund is meant to provide a small amount of one-time support to NPPA members who need immediate assistance — there are no restrictions on what the funding can cover: it can be healthcare, childcare, rent, or professional expenses.
Who can apply?
Only current members of the NPPA who derive their primary income from photography can apply. The application will ask basic questions such as how you have been impacted and basic documentation of canceled assignments; professional references; social media handles and/or a website.
NPPA and NPPF want to thank the SONY Corporation and the more than 200 individual donors who made this COVID-19 Relief Fund possible.
