Be Creative for a Cause!
Fostering Hope Happiness & Healing One Brush Stroke at a Time
One of our core beliefs is that of the power of art and the creative process to unify and heal. Whether that means internal or external; troubles in one's mind, tension in one's body or holes in one's soul.
Our "Creative for a Cause" program was officially (and accidentally) launched in December 2023, after a family friend sustained life-threatening injuries in a motorcycle accident. With the much-appreciated help of 10 local businesses and the unmatched generosity of the Bucks County community, we were able to put together an amazing fundraiser in less than a month, and raise funds for this family towards living expenses, medical treatment and recovery.
And this is how our charitable division, "Creative for a Cause" was launched.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to collaborate with and support the fundraising needs of our community through our paint kit fundraisers, Virtual "Paint-Alongs", DIY Paint Parties to Go, Community Pieces and select raffle basket donations.
NO experience is necessary for your guests to enjoy our creative fundraising activities! They are beginner and family friendly and SO much fun!
We're always open to collaborations with local organizations to raise much needed funds for our local schools, fire departments and other community organizations.

Why we No Longer Offer Live Fundraising Events
We’ve stepped away from live paint‑party fundraisers to better support schools with options that are more efficient, scalable, and easier to manage.
Traditional paint events require significant staffing, setup, cleanup, and space coordination, which often places a heavy operational burden on schools and limits participation.
Our Paint Kit and Community Piece Fundraisers were developed as a streamlined alternative. They offer:
- Zero onsite staffing needs
- Minimal coordination for your team
- Flexible distribution options
- Higher participation rates (families can complete kits at home or in the classroom)
- Consistent, predictable revenue for your school
This model allows you to offer a high‑quality creative experience without the logistical challenges of hosting a live event, or the additional expense of artist fees, making it easier for your team and more accessible for your families.
Who We Work With:
We're looking for schools, teams, scout troops, dance studios, fire/EMS departments, churches, and women's organizations, to collaborate with on fundraising projects. (We are particularly aligned with children's causes, early education and literacy initiatives, EMS/Fire, and domestic abuse organizations.)
All of our licensed and original designs, (we have a catalog of hundreds!) and projects are available for Paint Parties to Go, community pieces or paint kit fundraisers. We work with you on design ideas and promotion, so that your fundraiser is memorable and successful!

How Much Can We raise?
Paint Kits
Once you select your design(s), we will provide your group with an order form, help with the promotion your fundraiser and handle the order inquiries. Each Kit includes supplies and instructions and comes beautifully packaged to reflect your organization. At the end of your fundraiser, we fill your orders and drop them off to you to distribute, along with your order sheet and your raised funds.
We donate $10/kit for your fundraiser. So, if you sell 100 kits, you made $1,000!
Painted Community Piece
We work with you to select or create a design that is meaningful to your organization and cause. We then prepare an oversized canvas (or two) with your design, bring the supplies to your event, and facilitate your guests/the public in painting (or collage) a part of the design for a recommended donation to your organization. You can take this a step further and then raffle or auction off the piece to the public or to local businesses.
We charge a small fee for preparing the canvas, setting up the pop-up studio, and facilitating the painting. (We provide/donate the supplies). Your organization keeps all of the donations, as well as the raffle or auction funds. If 40 people donate $15 to paint the community piece, you've raised $600. Add in a raffle (additional $500 - $1000) or auction (up to $1500) and you've raised almost $2000 for your organization.
Do it Yourself "PP2GO"
Our DIY "Paint Party to Go" is an excellent "turn-key" option for large groups who want and "in-person" activity. After selecting your design, we prep, assemble and package your kits and drop them off to you. You pay our bulk rate for your kits and then charge your guests your ticket price to support your fundraiser. (You could offer a "painter" ticket and a "non-painter" ticket,) We can also assemble kids' kits for family-focused events.
We provide you with complete instructions and tips to make your DIY paint party as smooth as possible. If 50 families participate in the paint activity, and your ticket price covers a $10 donation to your organization, you've just raised $500 before any other raffles or donations at your event.
