About The VII Foundation
The VII Foundation trains and equips emerging visual journalists from communities underrepresented in the media. These practitioners have a front-seat perspective on urgent challenges that concern us all. The VII Foundation teaches essential skills and strategies to ensure the truth is documented and made available to a global audience seeking to make decisions and choices based on facts, not hearsay.
The VII Foundation consists of VII Photo, acquired in 2023, along with three educational initiatives: VII Academy, VII Community, and VII Engage.

VII Engage is a platform for public conversations that promote independent reporting as a tool for civic engagement and social impact. Regular online events, and in-person presentations – as well as Dispatches, a Substack publication – probe the production and power of images.
