Bob and Diane Fund Grant Program
Grant Amount: $5,000
The Bob and Diane Fund seeks submissions from visual storytellers on stories about Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia.
Who Should Apply?
Photographers — still photography only.
Participants of the previous grants can submit their proposal again for 2023 (we encourage you to refresh your submission).
What Are We Looking for?
Finish. Publish. Show. We are looking for projects that need support to complete, publish or exhibit. These can be intimate stories of loss, as well as those that point out the urgency of a growing medical crisis for Alzheimer’s and/or dementia.
Where Are These Stories From?
Anywhere. Forty-four million people have Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia worldwide, although it is most commonly found in Western Europe and North America. One-third of Americans over age 85 are afflicted with the illness.
When Are the Submissions Due?
The B&DF grant submissions open: September 1, 2023
The B&DF grant deadline: October 22, 2023
The winning entry will be announced in November 2023—National Caregivers Month.
