Charity Donations

Hello, First of all, I would love to thank you for your interest in using my art and gallery items to help raise money for your organization or benefit. Over the past few years, I’ve enjoyed being part of so many events where I volunteered and helped in making contributions to important organizations, charity auctions, benefits, fundraising, and more. 

Considerable donations in the form of prints, canvas prints, reworked canvases, originals, other art items, and live painting services are made every year. It would be an honor to have my name associated with yours.

Due to a heavy volume of requests, I’ve developed some guidelines that enable me to provide your organization with unique and high-quality items.

My donation policy is as follows:

• I shall be listed as a donor in any program or promotional materials (online or print) for your charity event. This will include my name, website address, and logo. The organization agrees to provide me with copies of these materials for my records.
• For auctions, a minimum or reserve price will be designated by me. This will ensure consistency with the value of artwork for existing collectors and galleries.
• The organization agrees to complete and return a donation receipt within 2 weeks following the event.
• If my donation does not sell, the organization agrees to return any unsold artwork and art items within 2 weeks following the event.
• Two complimentary tickets will be presented to the donors if it is an event that is in person and requires tickets. 
• Donated art will come unframed. Charity is required to matte and frame artwork which will be auctioned or raffled off. Charity is responsible for the matting or framing of the artwork.
• Suppose the piece/pieces donated are a high-value original or worth a lot of money and time. There will be a minimum bid/allowance that I will receive and then you will keep any money raised on top of that for the item donated. 

Please remember that on my end, current U.S. tax laws are unfavorable to artist donations and there is little to no write-off for artwork. As such, I have an annual cap for all donations and may have already reached my limit by the time you contact me.

If these terms are agreeable and you would like to be considered further for a donation, please feel free to contact us with more information about your charity and I’ll see what I can do! Thank you again so much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
