This Giving Tuesday: A Letter from our PhotoAlliance Leadership
Dear Friends of PhotoAlliance,
In our 23 years of operation, PhotoAlliance has built a space for photographic artists to connect, grow, and thrive. We’ve presented lectures and exhibitions across the Bay Area, brought world-class photographers into conversation with our community, and launched the careers of countless emerging artists through our beloved Portfolio Review.
To sustain our momentum and these programming initiatives, PhotoAlliance has set a $25,000 fundraising goal.
Every dollar you donate goes directly to:
Continuing our lecture series, featuring emerging and established artists
Awarding artists honorariums for sharing their time and expertise
Supporting free lecture admission for students — always!
Sustaining our operations: staff, storage, venue, and communication tools that keep you informed and our program running well
Providing invaluable, accessible ongoing programs for students and early-career photographers
Your gift, whether a one-time donation or recurring monthly contribution, ensures we can continue to nurture artists, foster dialogue, and keep our programs accessible to students and the broader public. Your involvement through attendance, volunteerism, conversation, and generosity continues to affirm the vital role photography plays in our culture, and helps to shape the future of our organization.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, our staff, and the artists we serve: thank you for believing in the value of our work.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Linda Connor
