Funding Your Photographic Projects
Photographic projects are often a self-funded labor of love. Grants can help sustain long-term lens-based projects to reach their full-scale potential. In order to secure funding, however, it is essential to align project goals and outreach with the funding priorities of grant-givers and, in doing so, help to realize shared missions.
Join Deborah Espinosa for the Funding Your Photographic Projects seminar, and gain strategies for obtaining funding through grant writing and fiscal sponsorship. This seminar will share how to research, write, and report on successful grants, and answer “What is a fiscal sponsorship?” See how Espinosa has successfully secured tens of thousands of dollars in grant funds utilizing a fiscal sponsorship model to support the Living With Conviction project.
Joining Deborah will be guest speaker and fiscally sponsored photographer Greg Constantine whose project Nowhere People is on view at the Migration Museum in London.

Deborah Espinosa, MA, JD, combines her legal and multimedia storytelling skills to advocate for the rights of the poor and marginalized, both in the U.S. and in Africa. She also works to strengthen those rights, providing legal technical assistance to state and national governments in the global south. She believes that multimedia storytelling is one of the most powerful advocacy tools for the reform of unjust law and policy.
Her work has been exhibited in multiple cities in Washington State as well as in San Francisco, Brooklyn, and in Winnipeg at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. In support of Living with Conviction, she has received multiple city and state grants, and she was chosen for the inaugural cohort of We, Women artists, an award which recognizes women, transgender, and non-binary photographers whose projects are rooted in community engagement and collaboration.
Deborah is a graduate of the Artist Trust EDGE Program for Visual Artists and holds a Certificate in Photography from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, a JD from the University of Washington School of Law, an MA from the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington, and a BA in History from the University of California at Berkeley.
