Gifts that Give Back

Consider a gift to SPE's Annual Fund or Future Focus Initiative

The Annual Fund is a critical financial resource for SPE. It supports a range of operational and programmatic needs. Your gifts help to sustain and grow the organization that has provided more opportunities for photographers, educators, scholars, and students than any photographic membership-based organization in the world since its founding in 1963. SPE is about sustaining relationships through engagement and support—regionally, nationally, and internationally.

A gift to our Future Focus Initiative sustains a full schedule of special projects, exhibitions, events, and educational programs.

Please support SPE, and make a tax-deductible contribution today. Any amount will be gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. And don't forget, your employer may have a Matching Gift Program, so be sure to check with your Human Resources department. It's an easy way to make your gift go even further! 

Other Ways to Give

Additional opportunities for you or your business to support the Society for Photographic Education include:

• Becoming a Member, Institutional or Corporate Partner
• Purchasing a gift membership
• Sponsoring a conference, conference program(s), awards, special projects or an exhibition
• Attending our Annual Conference or any of SPE's Affiliated Chapter Conferences
• Supporting our Future Focus Initiatives including exhibitions, workshops, publications
• Planned giving (including wills, estates, bequests and endowments)
• Gifts of securities or stocks
• Providing all-important general operating support with a gift to our Annual Fund
• Making a Tribute Gift in honor of an individual or event of personal importance, or in memory of a loved one
