Circle of Friends


For me, its focus on funding underrepresented communities and stories makes Magnum Foundation the most important grant making institution in the photography world. It’s a deeply worthy cause.
— Peter van Agtmael, MF board

Donors who give $1,000 or more join Magnum Foundation’s Circle of Friends and receive special benefits in recognition of their gifts.

The Circle of Friends was an idea conceived around a dinner table by a group of Magnum Foundation’s earliest supporters. The Circle of Friends has grown steadily over the years, and with it, so too have the occasions for our members to gather.

From unique salons and artist receptions to book launches and private tours, you will enjoy special invitations throughout the year and opportunities to meet and engage with dedicated documentary photographers.

Join the Circle of Friends by making a donation of $1,000 or above.
