Fagan Foundation

Documentary Photography, Real Relationships, and Practical Support

Steve Fagan Photography is built around time spent with people and places. Some projects lead beyond photographs alone, creating relationships, understanding, and opportunities to support practical needs identified by local communities.

The Fagan Foundation was created separately for that purpose: to support specific charitable initiatives where real barriers limit access to education, opportunity, and essential needs.

Its current initiative is the Tsum Valley Education Fund, supporting education-related needs connected to Compassion School in Lamagaun, Tsum Valley, Nepal.

Steve Fagan Photography is a documentary photography practice. The Fagan Foundation carries the charitable side of that work forward through a separate organization.
