A considerable 15% from each print sale goes to a charity of the illustrator's choosing making it a win-win situation for anyone looking to support charitable causes and emerging artists.
Here are three of my favourite prints that have been featured on the site so far:
 |
"Proof: Burden" by Samantha Hahn for the Kids in Need Foundation |
 |
"Wildlife of Vietnam" by Brendan Wenzel for the Jane Goodall Institute |
 |
"Wanderlust" by Linda Kim for the Kids in Need Foundation |
Luckily, great minds think alike as Judy Tan operates a similar venture in Portland, OR called tanQ where consumers can purchase limited edition t-shirts to support a different non-profit organization each month. With the motto of "1 tee, 1 month, 1 good deed", tanQ will donate 100% of the net profits from each sale for the first 12 months tanQ is in existence (est. Sept. 2010).
Featuring 12 classic yellow school pencils with various quirks and quarks (I'm the perfectionist!), each tee comes with a collector's greeting card and a mini button all in support of tanQ's December charity pick, Pencils of Promise.
What do you think of these start-ups connecting artists and national or global not-for-profits? Have you ever purchased anything from The Working Proof or tanQ?

"Pencil Personalities" by Yas Imamura for Pencils of Promise |
