Blue Earth Alliance sponsors photographic projects that educate the public
about threatened cultures, endangered environments and social issues. We
accept proposals for consideration twice a year, January 21st and June 1st.
The Blue Earth alliance is a non-profit with 501c3 status. This means that
Blue Earth is eligible to receive contributions from foundations and that
contributions from individuals and other entities are tax deductible. When we
sponsor a project that project can solicit funds in cooperation with a Blue
Earth Alliance coordinator that qualify for 501c3 (tax exempt) status. Each
project photographer is assigned a coordinator on the Board with whom the
photographer may discuss the project.
The Photographer who proposes the project is to work with the photographers
coordinator to develop funding for the project. Blue Earth provides two hours
of consultation with a grant writer, a list of potential foundations, and a
50 page book covering the organization, funding, shooting and publishing of
photographic projects. All funding requests are on behalf of, and subject to
the approval of, the Blue Earth alliance. Blue Earth alliance receives a
small percentage of each grant to help cover it's operating expenses. The
balance of the funds are distributed to the project as the work progresses.
