Photography can be a highly deceptive art form, because the camera is thought to produce a like image, however, especially with digital media, it is quite easy to create something untrue out of a true image. Whatever your focus is in photography, something true or something tweaked, theres an organization that would like to help support you with a grant. Grants are a stepping stone in a photographers life. They can offer encouragement and validation for ones work as well as the financial freedom to focus on a particular project.
