Eugene Smith, who sought to expose the truth about issues affecting and afflicting humankind. Between 1980 and 2009, the fund issued grants to 32 recipients.

Each year, a newly formed international jury reviews proposals from photographers seeking assistance to complete major projects.
The Howard Chapnick Grant was established in 1996 to encourage and supports leadership in fields ancillary to photojournalism, such as editing, research, education, and management.
