A different kind of auction item

Your Next Great Auction Item Doesn't Have to Be a Vacation.

Travel packages are everywhere on the gala circuit. An original painting—or a live art performance at the winner's own event—is something guests can't get anywhere else.

The Giving Canvas gives your auction a one-of-a-kind centerpiece with a story behind it, presented with a professionally produced video and auctioneer materials.
