The Nature Photography Foundation has a number of programs that it supports:

We support ongoing educational programs for college level nature photographers by funding scholarships through our Summit College Photography Scholarship Program. These scholarships programs provide for students to learn from the industry’s top photography shooters, editors, and publishers.

The Nature Photography Foundation also supports the building and maintenance of Photo Blinds in refuges, wildlife reserves, state/city parks, or other natural areas. The Foundation has helped construct more than 40 photo blinds at wildlife areas across the country giving photographers a chance to photograph nature without disturbing it. Grants of up to $1,500 are awarded to groups interested in building a photo blind at any refuge, wildlife reserve, state/city park, or other natural area.

Philip Hyde Grant. This $2,500 grant, funded through individual donations, is awarded annually by the Nature Photography Foundation to an individual who is actively pursuing completion of a peer-reviewed environmental project that is consistent with the mission of the Nature Photography Foundation.

Janie Moore Greene Grant: This grant of $1,000 is awarded annually to a student currently enrolled in or accepted to attend an institution of higher education specializing in the study of photography through the generosity of Janie Moore Greene.
