Philanthropic ProgramsImages move people and nothing is more important than using the power of imaging to give back – and The Imaging Alliance is dedicated to working with the entire industry on programs that are unique to our industry. We invite all of our members to help us grow these programs to affect local and national charities and associations.

Your participation enables us to make monetary

contributions to photographers’ projects, helping them to make the world a better place.

Your Images/Your Voice Teen Anti-Bullying ProgramTeen bullying starts with a negative image – but a positive image can change the world. This program aimed at middle school teens will teach them to use positive images in their daily lives to help create inspirational stories. We’re teaming local retailers with neighborhood middle schools to inspire their local communities, parents, teachers and students to work together to help curb teen bullying.

Portraits of LoveStarted in 2009, this program has sent over 20,000 free portraits of military families to deployed soldiers all over the world. Working with the USO, we are now expanding into local retail locations to help build loyalty while driving traffic and goodwill into local stores to help thank our soldiers for their dedication. As a retail member, you can host one of these inspirational events in your retail location.

Dealer ProgramsThe Imaging Alliance isn’t only about networking – it’s also about driving sales and improving retail performance.
