The Sixth Annual
Humanity is at the very core of our business at Jacqueline Connor Photography — both in business and in my own life. Every year I pick an organization to support that gives back to those within our Buffalo community or the greater world as a whole to show support to. When the world feels like it’s on fire and you do not know where to start to put it out, little movements forward is a great start.
As a wise friend once said when we were first brainstorming this idea back in 2018, “all we can give is the skills we have.”
This Years Sessions Will Benefit
This July, MAP was denied the final $50,000 payment of a 4-year grant they had been awarded from the USDA.
The reason? Their commitment to DEI.
“Such DEI policies and practices conflict with the [USDA’s] policy of maximizing and advancing the interests of all Americans through agriculture, ensuring a safe, nutritious and secure food supply.”
Pulled from USDA Termination Letter, July 2025
At MAP, they know that uplifting historically marginalized communities is indeed the first step to promoting equity in the food system for ALL Americans. This is how we achieve a safe, nutritious food supply— which has been their top priority since the beginning.
