Planning a photography gathering? You may be eligible for funding help
Image: Aftershoot Photography community leaders or educators looking to host events this year have new support available thanks to AI-based culling and editing software company Aftershoot. The company announced the second year of its Create Together Fund, a grant program that provides funding support for photography events and communities worldwide. Submissions for funding are open through February 28. The Aftershoot Creat Together Fund is open to professional photographers, photography educators, and emerging community leaders. Workshops, meetups, photowalks and styled shoots are all eligible for funding support. To apply for Cohort 2 visit the Create Together Fund website for more details and to fill out an application. “Our goal has always been to support photographers – not just in their post-production workflow, but in their growth, connections, and creative journey,” said Harshit Dwivedi, Founder of Aftershoot. “We saw how impactful Cohort 1 was, and we can’t wait to help even more photographers bring their community-driven ideas to life with Cohort 2.” Last year, Aftershoot supported 27 community leaders hosting photography events across 15 cities in 4 countries. Those events brought together more than 600 photographers as part of Cohort 1 of the Create Together Fund. From photo walks to workshops, the events offered in-person connection and learning opportunities. "The experience of hosting an event as part of Cohort 1 was incredible. Organizing awedding-styled photoshoot for photographers had been a long-time goal of mine, and theAftershoot Create Together Fund gave me the support I needed to turn that vision intoreality. It allowed photographers to connect, learn, and grow together, and I’m grateful tohave been part of it!" said Lindsey Birchfield, wedding and event photographer fromScottsdale, Arizona, USA. This year, with Cohort 2, Aftershoot is even more ambitious and is expanding the program with $1M in total funding. By the end of 2025, it hopes to sponsor 750 events in the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. Funding depends on the event size and scope, with grants of $1,000 for events with 15-25 attendees or $2,000 for 25-50 attendees. Grants of $5,000 are also possible for larger events, depending on the proposal.
