- A photographer who will work with the Organization over 1-2 days to capture an important event or shoot a series of photographs to tell the Organization's story
- A set of professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in JPEG or TIFF format suitable for web or print use
- Note: The photographer needs to be available in the same geographical location as the Organization or be willing to travel at own expense
What we have in place
- We currently have storyboard ideas and great locations, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have press releases, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,408 , allowing us to focus our resources on other marketing materials and fundraising initiatives.
The success of our organization depends on visibility. Without your help, we cannot show the world the LINC community. Your skills will empower us to build our brand and establish a cohesive image.

Our mission
LINC is an award-winning organization committed to achieving universal literacy.
Our mission is to equip children with foundational literacy skills essential for academic achievement by empowering families and mobilizing the community.
What we do
LINC's Community Literacy Model connects families with each other and with resources in their community to create immersive literacy environments for children during their first five years.
Our multi-generational programming is built on three key beliefs: 1. Engage children when it matters most. 2. Empower families to unlock children's potential. 3. Leverage the power of community.
Our single-session events introduce families to LINC through a variety of educational activities, such as engaging read-alouds and reading celebrations featuring diverse local children's authors. While, multi-session workshops provide LINC's most transformative impact, sharing data-driven practices for supporting literacy at key developmental stages (ages 0-1, 2-3, and 4-5). The most engaged participants continue on to our Very Involved Parent (VIP) workshops, where they graduate as community literacy advocates, prepared to lead reading programs, recruit families, and promote reading habits throughout their communities.
High-quality early childhood programs, family involvement and community support are critical in developing strong literacy skills for at-risk emerging readers. Through its unique approach, LINC builds vibrant networks that support literacy throughout the community. LINC works with schools, families, libraries, community centers, local businesses, and community partners to create a sustained, coordinated effort that gives families opportunities to practice literacy skills, model good reading behaviors, and extend classroom learning.
LINC works in the highest need neighborhoods to promote equity and create a world where every community uses their collective power to make literacy a value and right of all children.

This is a wonderful organization that is truly making a difference in the lives of New York City children (and their parents) by offering all manner of support when it comes to developing literacy skills. It was a pleasure to help them in the furthering of this admirable mission!
