MISSION
Established to honor two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist and Getty Images photojournalist Chris Hondros, the Fund endeavors to bring shared human experiences into the public eye that might otherwise go unreported by supporting photojournalists and emerging photographers.
“One of the ongoing themes in my work, I hope, and one of the things I believe in, is a sense of human nature, a sense of shared humanity.” – Chris Hondros
