Students make the art
Paintings, prints, pottery and crafts — original work by students and creators.
The campaign goes live
The organization sets the cause and goal, and the artworks are uploaded and listed.
Supporters buy an artwork
Buyers and donors browse the Craft a Cause marketplace and place an order.
The organization ships it
Campaign managers pack each artwork and send it straight to its buyer.
The cause gets funded
Once the campaign is over and every buyer confirms their artwork arrived, the funds are released.
Organizations run campaigns. Creators make and list artwork. Buyers discover and fund them. Every purchase closes the loop.
Organization email and a password. Reviewed within two working days. You can start building while we check.
Name it, describe the cause, set a goal and end date. Buyers read every word — be specific about what the money funds.
You add creators by email. They never sign up themselves. You control who’s in the campaign.
Consent is recorded the moment an artwork is submitted — by a guardian on behalf of a creator under 18, or by the creator themselves at 18 or over. You set the price, materials & size and how it’s delivered, and adjust the title, description or photos before anything goes live.
For each artwork you choose ship, pickup at school, or both — with a flat shipping rate or a USPS price for each buyer’s ZIP. Shipping comes to you in full. You fulfil every order directly and track it all in your dashboard.
Once the campaign is over and every buyer has confirmed their artwork arrived, the money it raised is released to your organization’s bank account.
Every organization is checked before going live. No anonymous fundraisers.
Buyers see first name + last initial only. No grade, no organization, no location.
Card data never touches our servers. Stripe handles all processing.
Organizations post what the money funded when a campaign closes.
It takes about four minutes to apply. Nothing goes live until you’re verified.
