Overview
Mission
To promote and advance appreciation of photography.
What it reported doing in 2025
On the first weekend in november, mid-atlantic photo visons plans and executes an annual photography exposition. We sell tickets to educational events and bring in a modest amount of corporate vendor support to cover expenses. The purpose is education to deepen knowledge about photography as an art form and support and strengthen the community of local photographers. Content covers topics from the technical to the artistic. A juried competition is available to the members of 6 camera clubs who provide the volunteer effort. Educational presentations and hands-on workshops are offered for a nominal fee. The photo gallery and vendor area are open for free to the public. We sponsor an annual professionally judged photography competition for high school students with prize money. About 500 people attend the event.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 93% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
