The Easel Program
‘The Easel Program’ is designed to provide charitable organizations
with a zero-risk, long-term, sustainable source of funding. Our Easel
Program allows people to purchase beautiful artwork & collectibles and
support a worthy cause at the same time. Together with our community
partners, Funding Innovation raises hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year for great causes and awe-inspiring missions. We run nationwide
across Canada, connecting people with a simple and effective medium
and allowing them to participate in creating positive change.

How Does The Easel Program Work?
1
A RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED FOR A CAUSE
First, a relationship is made with a charitable/
humanitarian organization. This
organization has a goal of raising funds for
their mission and cause.
2
AN EASEL NETWORK IS LINKED TO
THE CAUSE
Funding Innovation then creates a
network of locations to display beautiful
art and incredible collectible pieces on
our
custom-designed easels
or on a wall mounted location.
This is where our corporate partners
really shine within their communities.
3
A SEALED BID AUCTION BEGINS
The artwork and collectibles are displayed on the easels and/or wall mounts,
which then allows individuals to place a sealed bid for ownership of the piece.
Artwork is usually rotated on about
a two-week schedule.
each location receives a
new and fresh work of art or
collectible approximately
twice a month.

made for payment and

MONEY IS GIVEN TO THE CAUSE
The charitable or humanitarian organization
receives a cheque for all the
money they have raised for
their cause.
This money can be put towards the most
urgent priorities of the cause.

IT’S A WIN-WIN-WIN
This is what we call our WIN-WIN-WIN. The incredible
cause wins with funds to further their mission. The corporate
partner wins, as they are able to provide a platform
for causes that are close to their hearts.
And Funding Innovation wins, as we live our mission to
give a sustainable advantage to charitable
and humanitarian organizations tackling
the greatest challenges of our time.
