OUR MISSION
The Heart of Who We Are!
Our Mission Statement
Mountainsong Photography is committed to selling beautiful fine art nature photographs and offering fantastic tours & workshops, while simultaneously serving our community in tangible ways, bringing attention to social causes that match our values, and donating a portion of every sale to charitable organizations working to meet the needs of the marginalized.
What It Means
We exist for two reasons: The first is to provide the best quality products & services possible, including high quality, fine-art photographic prints, first rate tours & classes, etc.
The second reason that we exist, the big one, is to do all the good that we can for those in need. Specifically, it will work like this:
Each gallery of photographs is linked to a separate charity representing one of five causes—food, shelter, clean water, health, or education. A portion of the purchase price of each print will be donated to the charity connected to its gallery. The charity’s that we’ve chosen to support are known for their stewardship and efficiency, so you’ll see that even the least expensive print will make a significant difference in the lives of the needy. An 8x12 print in the Desert Gallery, for example, will provide one day’s worth of meals and shelter for five people!
This will apply towards the tours & workshops too; we’ll take a portion of every fee and split it evenly among the five causes.
The Future
We hope to have a studio/gallery in the near future where we can:
- Raise funds and awareness for community causes, such as homeless and domestic violence shelters, food pantries, adopt-a-family programs, etc.
- Partner with local schools to provide opportunities in art that have suffered because of budget cuts.
- Bring attention to social issues and needs through presentations, photo interpretations, and other public awareness strategies.
- And much more!
