“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
This project can't wait — and it can't happen without funding.
Bush flights to Newtok, the first American village relocated by rising water. Skiffs chasing glaciers that retreat faster every season. Passage into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the coastal plain is now up for sale to oil companies, threatening the Gwich'in and the Porcupine caribou herd who depend on it.
Every flight, every ferry, every week in the field depends on support right now. Your gift funds the next trip into the field — and because The Great Alaska Project is fiscally sponsored by Creative Visions Foundation, it's fully tax-deductible and helps unlock institutional grants otherwise out of reach for an individual artist.
If you believe photography can create change, back that belief with a gift today.
