Make a Financial Donation
We also appreciate financial donations to help support our mission. Thank you!
Make an Art Donation
- We work with each donor individually to make sure the process goes smoothly. The first step is to let us know you're interested by sending an e-mail to openheartfound@gmail.com.
- Review the guidelines below for more detailed information.
- Make arrangements with us for shipping or local (Northeast Ohio) pickup/delivery of the work you choose to donate.
- We will provide you documentation of your donation.
- We will let you know when your donated art has been received and again when it is placed in one of our partner medical offices (that's the fun part!). Follow along on our Facebook page.
Art Donation Guidelines
General Guidelines
- We accept donations of original art--no posters, reprints or reproduction pieces, please.
- Most of our partner medical offices request art that can be hung on a wall: paintings, photographs, drawings, and other framed art works are ideal. However, we know that art is expressed in many different forms and we will happily accept donations of other art forms such as ceramics, sculptures, etc. on a case-by-case basis.
- All art must be ready to install, including any hardware for mounting.
- Please also keep in mind that many of the offices are small spaces, so larger pieces may be more difficult to place.
- We are particularly interested in art that expresses a positive message, as well as art that would be accessible to children of all ages.
- Because the art will be in medical environments, we reserve the right to return works in the rare cases we determine they could not be placed with one of our partners.
Shipping
- We ask that donors cover the cost of shipping whenever possible.
- For donors local to Northeast Ohio, we can offer pick-up/delivery options.
