Does Your Organization Need Fundraising Help or Donations for an Upcoming Event?
At Ever After Portraits, we have a heart for giving back to the communities in which we do business. We know how hard it can be to raise awareness for so many of our important local organizations that do such good work.
Â
We’re here to help.
We love supporting local non-profits/charities, so we have challenged our team to donate $300,000+ in portrait art this year.
We have several creative fundraising opportunities we are sharing with you.
Give your donors a piece of their family history to reward their generosity…a Family Portrait!
A family portrait becomes a part of a family’s history, often handed down through generations.
As experts in family wall portrait art, we provide an invaluable service including portrait art for families to display and cherish in their homes forever.  Everyone needs a family portrait. Our Gift Certificates are highly sought after and families often drive 2+ hours because what we create is so unique and special.
By offering something so emotionally valuable, we are the perfect choice to help with your fundraiser.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
We need more information about your donation to the Live Auction - Paddles Up - please explain what that is.
We refer to this as a direct donation.
Donors donate a specific amount to your organization.
Ever After Portraits will donate a $1000 Gift Certificate to any number of people that each donate $199.
And if they each donate $199, then instead of just sending out one gift certificate, we will honor an unlimited number of gift certificates.
We already have photographers donating.
We understand! Not a photographer, Mindy is a Portrait Artist specializing in creating beautiful heirloom wall art for families.
How will winners schedule their portrait session?
Through a phone conversation, a mutually agreed upon date will be chosen with the winner.
What is the average cost of a session?
An in-studio family portrait session and our 10-inch Fine Art heirloom portrait cost $1,000.
If someone would like to purchase more or order a larger size, there would be an additional expense.
Why are you donating so much?
As a business, we are active in the community and we have set a goal to give back over $300,000 this year.
One of our goals is to get clients for life. We expect that once they experience our studio, they will come back for future portrait sessions along with referring their friends.
To attract the right client, we could either spend tens of thousands of dollars on traditional marketing, or we could partner with places that already attract our ideal client such as your event and provide free products/services which makes it a win/win for everyone.
The value of your Gift Certificate is too high - will you lower it?
We are giving a substantial donation, and we are very proud of our prices as we offer an exquisite product. If you feel it’s not a good fit, we totally understand.
Can we count on you to donate to our organization every year?
Absolutely – under one condition.
We must receive the winner’s information after the event so we can validate the certificate to protect against loss or theft.
Selling our certificates means you agree to the requirement of providing the winner’s name and contact information after your event.
We will honor gift certificates sold so that your organization can benefit from our donations.
We expect that organizations we work with will provide us with winner information for this reason.
