The Dick Dougall Educational Photography Grant will award one grant per year to a school, Boy/Girl Scout group, 4H, or similar youth related organization to encourage youth in the art of photography.

Giving
The Dick Dougall Educational Photography Grant is made possible largely by the contributions from BPG members. Thank you!
This grant has been awarded several times, and the recipients have each taught photography skills to youth and young people in amazing ways.
The Dick Dougall Educational Photography Grant Committee’s goal is for this yearly grant to become self-funded; and, toward that end, we are inviting contributions for this fund.
