Are there any grants available for photographers growing or setting up photography businesses? If so, where I can find a listing of these?

Thank you

You could try photophilanthropy.org/resources/find-photography-grants/ Most grants are very specific in what they are given for, and all funds provided must be used for that reason only. Usually the people who can get these are the people who do not need them. The only other way to finance yourself is through the Small Business Administration, or the good old fashioned way of scrimping and saving.

Thank you, I'm going to check this out. I wasn't sure, and frankly it couldn't hurt to ask. I'm sure there is some stiff competition for stuff like this.
