AICP's Partnership with the APA in the UK
AICP and the APA have both set up mechanisms for donations to be collected (in the U.S. and U.K., respectively) and to pass through to Ukrainian companies, at this time both will use Radioaktive Film’s foreign accounts as the conduit. There are no limits, so no donation is too small nor too large. In the future there may be other ways to direct funds to people in our industry in Ukraine.
Giving Photography

Giving Photography was created to connect people and artists who want to make a difference, all while making the world a little more beautiful. And, right now, we want to focus our attention and efforts on aid to Ukraine. Whether you are a photographer or someone interested in making a donation in exchange for print, we invite you to join us.
