We're here to CANCEL the starving artist myth... By Building Cause Based Communities
At Art For Your Cause, we are more than just an art gallery and online community—we’re a movement. Our platform showcases premium art products that not only pay artists fairly but also support vital causes. Causability 'Creator Grants' for artists' causes.
With every purchase, you’re empowering an artist and contributing to either a nonprofit partner or our Causability ‘Creator Grants’ that fund artists’ causes.
When artists collaborate with nonprofits that share their artwork with their dedicated followers, they gain the opportunity to connect with new patrons and enthusiasts—potential collectors who appreciate and support their art.
Nonprofits often have a loyal, generous supporter base, inclined to donate to meaningful causes. By aligning themselves with these causes, artists can enhance the value of their work, creating lasting connections within the nonprofit’s donor community and their local networks.
Artists
Because AFYC is owned by the nonprofit Causability, it takes a smaller sales commission percentage, therefore enabling artists to receive higher percentages of commissions than any other online marketplace. This enables artists to earn more off their sales.
Nonprofits
AFYC was built on a foundation of genuinely wanting to help those in need. For this reason, we offer creator grants through our nonprofit Causability, so everyone has the potential to financially benefit directly from a 'cause based' collaboration enabling a win, win within the supported community.
Collaboration
We work to benefit all parties involved: artists, nonprofits, collaborating on their causes, and art lovers (aka supporters) helping to grow their community to sustainably grow and prosper.
Transparency
We believe in transparency. We publicly share our financial model. We're here to do good and share our love of art making the world beautiful.
The Bottom Line
Unlike any other art-based online shops, we publicly share our entire financial model.
Here’s how it breaks down for every purchase:
- 50% Production Cost
- 20% To The Artist
- 10% To Causability
- 20% To AFYC
As an artist and the founder of Art For Your Cause, Liz London sought a more impactful way to give back to her community. Nonprofits frequently asked her to donate art for events supporting their causes, but artists often receive neither payment nor recognition for their contributions. Liz wanted to challenge the “starving artist” stereotype and knew that many other artists faced the same struggle. This inspired her to create a solution that would benefit everyone involved, leading to the birth of AFYC.
In 2022, with the support of her family, Liz founded Causability—a cause-based community that provides grants to creators, fosters collaboration between artists and nonprofits, and offers a platform for fundraising.
When artists partner with nonprofits that showcase their work to a supportive audience, they open doors to new patrons and enthusiasts who may become future collectors.
Nonprofits typically cultivate a loyal and generous following—people who are eager to support meaningful causes. By aligning with these nonprofits, artists can increase the value of their work within the nonprofit’s donor base and local communities.
Moreover, 10% of AFYC sales are dedicated to ‘Creator Grants’ through our nonprofit, Causability, fostering grassroots community engagement between artists, nonprofits, and the causes they champion.
Art For Your Cause (AFYC.com) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the nonprofit Causability.org.
Art For Your Cause LLC is a unique ‘pay it forward’ ecommerce platform for visual artists.
10% of the sales proceeds from AFYC goes to the nonprofit Causability to fund our ‘creator grant’ programs, providing the ability for collaboration between artists and nonprofit communities to build and strengthen their causes through the development of new creative programs.
From Our Happy Artists
AYFC was an avenue for me to be able to expose my work to a larger audience and make sales while I work from home just outside of Galveston Island in conjunction with my new role as a caregiver. My mother's health began to fail and I found myself in the midst of serious financial difficulties.
AFYC stepped up when they heard about my situation and bulk purchased my current body of work, giving me the financial wherewithal to weather this storm. Although my mother’s health is still failing, thanks to AFYC I am able to resolve the peripheral issues I was facing and provide comfort and care for her.
AFYC is a true ARTIST LIFELINE and I cannot thank you enough to my very heart and soul. The comfort of knowing that other artists (Liz London) care so much and are out there to help is beyond outstanding and I am so lucky to be loved by and love back AFYC!
Let’s give back by having some new real awareness of just how amazing Art For Your Cause is! Let's look at what Causability will be bringing to our artist world in addition to this amazing step up for artists and buyers alike! Artists!
