Designated in advance
Paintings are marked before they go on sale, not chosen afterwards to suit a story. Ask and I'll tell you which ones currently carry it.

Paint for a Cause
Designated works, whole proceeds, documented destination.
A painting is a luxury object. A luxury object can be made to do some work.
That was the whole idea — not a fundraising campaign or a one-off charity auction, but a standing arrangement where certain paintings carry their sale price straight out to organisations serving the visually impaired and widening access to education.
There is an obvious irony in painting for people who cannot see the result. It is also the point. The object is a mechanism; what it buys is the outcome.

How it actually works
Proceeds go out whole
The full sale price of a designated painting goes to the partner organisation. Not a share, not net of costs.
The collector gets the receipt
You receive documentation of where the money went and what it funded. A paper trail, not a feeling.
Where it goes
Sight and schooling
Two causes, chosen because they compound. Supporting or restoring sight changes what a person can do for the rest of their life. So does getting them into a classroom.
Partner organisations are named to collectors at the point of purchase rather than published here, because the list changes and I would rather it be accurate than decorative.

If you run something worth funding
I'm open to adding partner organisations working in visual impairment or education access — particularly smaller outfits doing specific, measurable things rather than broad awareness work.
Equally open to corporate partners who want a commissioned painting for their space with proceeds designated. It turns an interiors budget line into something that does two jobs.
