Introducing our new Friends of the Atelier 2007 Fundraiser. Our goal is to raise $15,000 this year by way of an interactive online donation system. When you donate you can advertise your business, your artwork or simply get to know others in our donor community.
It's fun and easy to donate. We are using an oil painting background visually divided into 300 blocks. With each $50 you donate, you become the sponsor of a block within the painting. Simply donate using your credit card or PayPal account. You will receive a 501-C(3) tax exempt receipt via email for your donation. Your blocks will instantly be assigned to you and will change from grayscale to the color of the painting. When you sponsor a block you can upload an image, include links to your website, and add a text message. When other visitor clicks on your block(s), your advertisement is displayed! You also have the option of remaining anonymous.
Be sure to tell your friends about this wonderful way to give back to our community by clicking the "Email this page to a friend" icon.
BONUS: Created by Dale Redpath, Co-Director of The Atelier, and professional artist, Lilacs, Baguette and The Green Pitcher, 23 x 28 inches, is the featured work for our 2007 Fundraiser. Because our goal is to have donors collectively reveal all of the 300 blocks, we are motivated to show our appreciation. If we reach this goal, we will give away this beautiful, framed oil painting! For each $50 donation received, the donor’s name will be put into a hat and one name will be drawn. If everyone participates we can make our goal by December 31st. Again, the painting will be The Atelier’s way of saying thank you if we reach our $15,000 goal.
Check back often to see how it’s unfolding. We will post more announcements here during the fundraiser. If you have any questions about our Friends of The Atelier 2007 Fundraiser, please send an email to mail at theatelier dot org.
