IRS990/Desc0The AjA Project exists to ignite change, break cycles of marginalization, and to build healthy communities. We do this through a creative platform called Participatory Photography which asks youth to reflect on and analyze their personal and social landscapes. To achieve this, AjA provides free participatory photography programming to underserved, marginalized, and displaced youth. Cross Sector Partnerships: This year, The AjA Project began a new type of programming in which we partner with community organizations already convening youth for a specific purpose. AjAs Cross-Sector Partnerships use our proven methods to enhance the existing work of a partnering organization, affecting a wider and deeper impact on their mission.List of Cross-Sector Partnerships in FY15:Funder/Partner ProgramProject Concern International Girls Eye ViewThe Parker Foundation Re-Visualizing MotherhoodThe California Endowment Overcoming Barriers to Health(6-mo. Extension)Fee-For-Service Revenue Stream:Additionally, AjA created a Fee-For-Service model to supplement the grant and contribution revenue.
