About FREDRIC ROBERTS FOUNDATION

The Fredric Roberts Foundation is a Los Angeles–based private foundation that funds and operates the Fredric Roberts Photography Workshops, an international youth photography education program founded by award-winning photographer Fredric Roberts. The foundation supports week-long workshops that train cohorts of approximately 20 high-school–aged students (balanced by gender and urban/rural background) in storytelling and technical photographic skills, then provides cameras, software and continuing mentorship.

The foundation is an active, tax‑exempt private foundation that files Form 990-PF and reports assets and charitable disbursements in recent filings. In the last few years the foundation has continued its program activity internationally and in Mexico (Monterrey workshops in 2025 and 2026), and the program emphasizes ongoing alumni development — returning students commonly serve as teaching assistants and group leaders in subsequent workshops.

Notable achievements

Sustained international workshop program

Established and sustained the Fredric Roberts Photography Workshops since 2011, delivering multi-day workshops in countries including India, Bhutan, Nicaragua, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Mozambique and Mexico.

Direct student support and capacity building

Each workshop trains about 20 students and culminates with the donation of professional cameras and photo software so participants can continue their practice; the program also cultivates alumni who return as teaching assistants and leaders.

Continued program activity in the last 2–3 years

Ran multiple Monterrey workshops (documented in 2025 and 2026) with public blog and gallery updates demonstrating ongoing student work, curriculum delivery and alumni advancement.
