Mitchel Anderson won for Outstanding Creative Use working with Samantha Oakes of Project for Pride in Living (PPL). From successful photographer to several years homeless to Salvation Army to PPL and into Cabrini Housing! Nominated for MicroGrants, Mitchel was able to purchase a digital camera system to reopen his business. Mitchel remarks,
“The $1000 grant really got things going for me again. I’ve shot weddings and fine art, my home is acting as a gallery and studio and I will have my digital photography degree in two years! This is a dream come true!”
MicroGrants grantmaking is currently paused as we work through internal operations and determine next steps for the program.
