IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Fellowship: Amplifier launched a fellowship and grant program for photographers and photo-based artists ahead of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. The program addresses threats to democracy, including voter disenfranchisement, intimidation, manipulation, misinformation, and disinformation campaigns, while highlighting systemic racism and inequity. Through their projects, our fellows and grantees raise awareness of these challenges, encouraging civic engagement and social change.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Native Vote: In partnership with IllumiNative and Natives Vote, Amplifier created a nationwide public art and storytelling campaign to support Indigenous voter engagement during the 2024 election season. We commissioned Indigenous artists, produced culturally responsive educational tools, and provided communications support to grassroots organizations working in key states where Native communities face structural barriers to voting. The campaign distributed over 10,000 physical artworks, supported more than 25 community events, and reached millions through digital and public installations to elevate Native voices and protect voting rights.
