Question 1

What is a photo fundraiser?

Accepted Answer

A photo fundraiser is a campaign where supporters donate to your organization in exchange for a professional portrait experience. It’s a unique way to raise funds while giving donors something meaningful in return.

Question 2

How does the fundraiser work?

Accepted Answer

Once your organization signs up, we create a custom link where donors can register. Each donor gets a full portrait package—including a design consultation, a photo session with one of our expert photographers, and a printed portrait. You receive 100% of the donation amount.

Question 3

Do we need to be a nonprofit to participate?

Accepted Answer

No. We work with 501(c)(3)s, schools, alumni associations, civic groups, and professional clubs. If your group has a community of supporters, we can help you raise funds through photography.

Question 4

Is there any upfront cost to the organization?

Accepted Answer

None. There’s no risk, no inventory, and no fees. We handle everything—from booking and photography to delivery—so your team can focus on promoting the campaign.

Question 5

What do donors receive with their donation?

Accepted Answer

Each donor receives a Zoom design consultation, up to 90 minutes with a professional portrait photographer, and a 16x20 inch mounted print. Many choose to purchase additional prints or digitals, but there’s no obligation.

Question 6

How long does it take to launch a fundraiser?

Accepted Answer

We can have your campaign up and running within 2 weeks. Once it’s live, you start receiving funds as donations come in.

Question 7

Can we customize the campaign for our group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From logos and messaging to visual branding and social media graphics, every campaign is personalized for your organization.
