Every year, Aperture Foundation serves an audience of one million people passionate about art and photography through its ground-breaking Aperture magazine, award-winning books, related traveling exhibitions, limited-edition prints, and public programs that contribute to and expand the dialogue on photography’s role in our society. Aperture Foundation supports and sustains innovations in the photographic medium and the work of both emerging and master photographers.

Revenues from Aperture’s publications and prints are not enough to maintain our high standards, editorial independence, and ongoing discovery of new visionaries making breakthroughs in the medium. Your contributions provide the essential resources that make our programs possible.

Join us with your tax-deductible donation to celebrate our place in the evolving narrative of photography.
