 (Kansas City, MO & Glenview, IL) Winners of Giving USA Foundation’s first worldwide photo contest captured the essence of “giving” with arresting visuals that will be seen in the upcoming edition of Giving USA, to be released June 30. All photos were submitted by non-profit organizations and for the first time in 51 years, submitted photos will adorn the cover and inside pages of the publication.

Kansas City photographer and City Union Mission Associate Executive Director of Development, Dennis Chapman, was one of three whose photographs captured the spirit of philanthropy around the world. Winning photos represent such world-renowned organizations as Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity and the American Red Cross, as well as the UN’s World Food Programme and City Union Mission in Kansas City.
Giving USA Foundation’s photo contest took place over the course of the past few months and finalist photos were judged by a blue ribbon panel. Chapman’s photos were submitted by Kansas City based Jeffrey Byrne & Associates, who work with City Union Mission as consultants on their ongoing $12 million capital campaign called, "Building the Walls that Rebuild Lives", to address chronic over crowding.
