Project details

What we need
  • A photographer who will attend the Organization's event to take photos
  • A set of professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in a digital format suitable for web or print use
  • Note: The photographer needs to be available in the same geographical location as the Organization or be willing to travel at own expense
What we have in place
  • On September 14 and 15, more than 1,500 volunteers will gather to make a difference in our community in celebration of our 160th year of service to Atlanta. We are engaging individuals and corporate groups to accomplish service projects at 16 Ys and nonprofit partner sites across the city. Your help would allow us capture professional images at more sites and to better share our mission and impact.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,768 , allowing us to provide scholarships to ensure hundreds of children in need can participate in fun and academically enriching programs at the Y.

The success of our organization depends on successful communication of our commitment to our community. Without your help, we cannot have professional photos of the impact we will make this day. Your skills will empower us to share our message with more donors, members, and partners.

Event Photography Project

YMCA of Greater Atlanta deserves high marks in the two categories that matter to photographers. What a pleasant and easy group with whom to work. They have me much freedom to use my judgment about what makes a good picture. I’d certainly offer my services to them again.
