The Magnum Foundation focuses
on production and distribution of in-depth documentary projects; awards
and grants to aspiring photojournalists; and initiatives to preserve the
archives of independent photographers.
Mission:
Established
for educational, charitable and cultural purposes, the Magnum
Foundation focuses on four program areas: production and distribution of
in-depth documentary projects; awards and grants to aspiring
photojournalists; initiatives to preserve the archives of independent
photographers; and public service collaborations.
Company Overview:
Four
pioneering photographers, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, George
Rodger and David “Chim” Seymour, had the insight to claim their
editorial independence by retaining ownership of their copyrights.
Today’s photographers are seeking to build upon this pioneering legacy
with a newly formed charitable organization, The Magnum Foundation
(TMF). Launched in 2007, TMF is working to bring over half a century of
historic and iconic photographs to the public and support the work of a
new generation of documentary photographers.www.magnumfoundation.org
