We'd Love To Introduce Ourselves!
Funding Innovation was formed in 2015 to provide charities with a zero cost, zero risk, fundraising alternative called the Art Easel Program. The program generates sustainable, long term, non-designated funding to help fund the charities’ most urgent needs.
We now support over 100 charities, and have over 2,400 easel hosting locations, and as of February 2023 have raised over $12,500,000 for the charities we support.
