It is with great sadness that the NPPA says goodbye to one of its friends, dedicated volunteers and a pioneer in the art of visual storytelling. Ray's family has asked that friends and family wishing to honor his passing, in lieu of flowers, donate to the Ray Farkas Educational Fund. This fund is being set up to create and distribute educational resources related to Ray's work and his unique brand of storytelling, intended for professionals and students alike. One hundred percent of the gifts made in Ray's name will go directly to the fund.
If you wish to make a donation to the Ray Farkas Education Fund, please send a check, made out to the NPPA, to:
Ray Farkas Education FundPlease be sure to include a letter or indicate on the check that the money is designated to the Ray Farkas Education Fund. Please also include your name and address so that we may acknowledge your gift.
Or if you prefer, you can also donate online.
The National Press photographers Association is a nonprofit organization, but is designated a 501(c)(6) by the IRS. This means that individual donations to the NPPA are not tax deductible.
