CatchLight partnered with the Institute for Nonprofit News to establish Local Fellows with the Better Government Association, Block Club Chicago, Borderless Magazine, and ProPublica Illinois- reaching a significant cross section of Chicago residents. The Local Fellows also pursued community engagement programs to increase the community connection to the work. For example, Samantha Cabrera Friend's project was exhibited at the Chicago Public Library, where she also led workshops with school-aged children. Local projects were recognized for three awards: San Francisco Press Club and Society of Professional Journalists both awarded Yesica Prado for "Driving Home: Surviving the Housing Crisis", CatchLight and the San Francisco Public Press. The Online Journalism Awards, Gather Award for Community Centered Journalism, Nominee for Samantha Cabrera Friend, "Meeting History: A Garfield Park Citizen Archive," Propublica Illinois and CatchLight. 329948 159250 In 2021, CatchLight welcomed its fifth year of Global Fellows, 4 exceptional visual storytellers who are transforming the field: Koral Carballo, Roopa Gogineni, Bayete Ross Smith, and Daniella Zalcman. With projects that address gaps and omissions in public and personal archives they are interrogating history, building new formats to access visual projects, and designing new business models that can sustain visual practices into the future. Their work reached hundreds of thousands of people around the world through diverse avenues of engagement. Ross Smith, shared his work through a four part series in the Guardian and with law students and faculty as the first Artist in Residence at Columbia law school.

And, as world leaders gathered for COP26, Gogineni was also in Glasgow presenting the exhibition she curated, Seeing Pastoralism. Working with researchers from STEPS Centre at The University of Sussex, the project highlighted the perspectives of nomadic herders (pastoralists) from China, Italy, Kenya, Ethiopia, India, and Tunisia. 154048 CatchLight's convenings provide an opportunity for educational growth and exchange, sharing ideas and expertise in a range of formats for fellows, industry experts, students, and the general public. In 2021, CatchLight partnered with the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) to present Care in the Time of COVID-19, a two-part exhibition featuring photography and illustration documenting disaster service workers, COVID-19 response and prevention efforts, and life in some of San Francisco's neighborhoods over the past two years. The visual storytellers' poignant work around communities celebrates individual and collective resilience. The exhibition was on display, free and open to the public, in the lower level and North Light Court of historic San Francisco City Hall. CatchLight also led a series of online programs highlighting the work of visual storytellers through its "Behind the Lens" series and other online programming. For example, in February of 2021, documentary filmmakers Christina Clusiau and Shaul Schwarz discussed their paths from photographers to filmmakers and what went into the making of their six-part Netflix documentary series Immigration Nation. 1077844 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false true false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 40 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true false false CA X Elodie Mailliet 5105459074 1150 25th Street San Francisco CA 94107 X Elodie Mailliet CEO 40.00 0.00 235685 0 28341 Nancy Farese Chairman 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Deirdre Atkin Hockett Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Mayes Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Ramsay Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Rosenthal Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stacy-Marie Ishmael Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Kashi Director 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 235685 28341 1 false true false 0 114400 2980557 3094957 Conference Symposium Fees 900099 750 750 750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3095707 750 39000 39000 153400 153400 51250 51250 0 250000 200000 25000 25000 0 380935 308567 15900 56468 27674 19935 4241 3498 60221 45697 2675 11849 42152 34286 2428 5438 0 0 16347 16347 0 35500 35500 0 105267 98352 2284 4631 0 73735 66005 3079 4651 26399 16256 6038 4105 0 20282 16830 1472 1980 18242 17073 529 640 0 11245 9484 627 1134 0 0 1363 1242 40 81 2608 467 2086 55 0 1315620 1077844 82746 155030 660923 1337738 0 0 1204000 0 0 0 0 23113 15168 31376 30603 2136 773 0 0 0 0 1900 1900 688072 2559579 19961 44815 113434 180000 133395 224815 X 477636 702958 77041 1631806 554677 2334764 688072 2559579 1780087 X false false false X 485776 860811 979284 1195551 3094957 6616379 0 0 485776 860811 979284 1195551 3094957 6616379 1121737 5494642 0 0 0 6616379 47791 0.83050 0.88570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19015 18242 773 12361 12361 773 PPP loan & Fiscal sponsor liab 180000 180000 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grants to recipient 0 Europe 0 0 Fellowship grants 0 Mexico 0 0 Fellowship grant 0 Cash grant West Africa 1 12250 Fellowship award Europe 1 9000 Fellowship award Mexico 1 30000 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US We have quarterly check-ins with Fellows and scheduled presentations of the work related to the project we are funding.
