| Desc | CatchLight Local is a new model for photojournalism at the local level aimed at supporting and strengthening connections between emerging visual journalists, BIPOC and historically excluded communities, and newsrooms. The initiative, launched in 2019, was spurred by the increasing loss of visual journalists across news publishing platforms, which over the past decade across the United States have had over a 50% staff decline. In 2020, CatchLight supported three Local Fellows (100% BIPOC, 33% female or gender nonconforming) working with three newsrooms: The Salinas Californian, Bay City News, and the San Francisco Public Press. They published 31 stories in these news outlets addressing the impacts of COVID on farm working families and low income residents, housing, education, and food insecurity. Their stories were also published by USA Today, Berkeleyside, and BBC. Images by Local Fellow Yesica Prado were also featured in an exhibition at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and used in creating dashboard posters with COVID information guides distributed to 1,000 vehicle dwellers. | Desc |

| Desc | The CatchLight Fellowship awards storytellers who use visual art to spark new conversations, engage communities, and whose work is poised to be significantly amplified by collaboration, mentorship, and networking with a $30,000 award. The fellowship also provides personal development opportunities and impact strategy and networking support from CatchLight staff and our network of partners. Our Impact Fund, founded in 2020, lends additional support for Fellows projects over a longer period of time, such as for CatchLight Fellow Aida Mulunehs efforts to support the talents of emerging African artists through her masterclass workshops. In 2020, CatchLight awarded three CatchLight Fellowships (66% BIPOC, 33% female or gender conforming). In 2020, work by CatchLight Fellows appeared in 23 talks, exhibitions, and public programs and received seven awards. | Desc |

| Desc | Our convenings connect CatchLights fellowship programs, the broader photographic community, youth, and the general public. These free, public programs (panel discussions, portfolio reviews, networking opportunities, photowalks, and project presentations) are designed to connect, inspire, and educate individuals. Our goal is ultimately to increase opportunity and access for personal interest and professional growth in visual storytelling. In 2020, CatchLight hosted two online panel discussions reaching 1125 people, published 24 Behind the Lens interviews, and created a six part media literacy curriculum for youth, available in three languages, accessible online for free. | Desc |
