As imaging professionals, we touch the lives of others every day…by being part of someone's wedding day, capturing a child's personality or even helping businesses succeed. Extend that personal touch, and help others with PPA Charities.
PPA Charities is a charitable, non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to reaching out and touching the lives of children in need. It allows imaging professionals to combine their individual efforts to make a larger impact on the lives of children and families everywhere.
In addition to pooling the resources of individual photographers, PPA Charities is a perpetual fund. The majority of donations to the foundation are invested, and the profits from these investments are then given to various children's charities. This strategy will allow PPA Charities to grow each year, giving us the opportunity to become increasingly effective at helping others while promoting our profession.
PPA Charities Mission Statement: A fully functioning philanthropic arm of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), PPA Charities will allow PPA to become a force for positive change in our society and to make a difference in the lives of others.
