Art Fundraising

Connection in Color Art Fundraising is an innovative alternative to traditional fundraisers. It provides the opportunity to raise money that directly benefits your school!

Connection in Color encourages participants to kindle their imaginative, artistic side by giving them the  opportunity of a blank canvas + creative freedom.

Participants’ artwork will be showcased on a variety of products such as hoodies, t-shirts, greeting cards, posters, magnets, + more!

As friends, family, + others buy products that feature the participants’ illustrations, your school or organization can raise money + engage your community.

As an all hands on deck initiative, your fundraiser will require the support of your fundraising team, students, and their families, thereby building morale and dedication to the cause long after your fundraiser comes to an end.

Connection in Color encourages imagination by giving students a blank canvas (literally!) on which to explore their creative freedom.

Once artwork is captured, family and friends can purchase these one-of-a-kind creations on hoodies, shirts, plaques, posters and more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely nothing! There is no upfront fee to participate, which we’ve heard is a

great incentive for our partnering organizations. 😉

Joining our program gives you the support you need to hold a successful fundraiser and make up to 40% of the profit. Talk about an advantage!

We won’t pretend to be the judges on what makes great art, but we do know a little bit about marketing and design and we can tell you that what does the best in our fundraisers are playful, buoyant pieces that reflect times and seasons. We encourage creative expression, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your sales! Our only no-no is glitter as it doesn’t get along with the scanning machines.

We recommend timing your fundraisers thematically, in time for celebrations.

For example, if a school signs up in September and orders come through in October, your items will be delivered just in time to send out artful Christmas cards! We estimate a 60 day start to finish cycle for every Connection in Color fundraiser.

We fulfill orders right from our Edmonton facility and can ship to your school for customer pickup or to destinations worldwide.

In most cases, the school will be the first point of contact for any parent queries. If the school is unable to resolve the issue to satisfaction, they’ll be referred to ION’s Customer Service team, who will provide them with any available updates.

Yes! Your school will be supplied with a master list of all student artwork, each with a unique code. Staff and teachers can select the individual art items of their choice.

Our Customer Service team, available from Monday to Friday 8:30 – 4:30 MST, will gladly assist you.

Program Partners Are Pleased!

Our parents love the art card fundraiser and look forward to it every year. There is a wide variety of products to choose from, all of which make great gifts! Ordering is easy and quick and ION is great to work with, always addressing our questions in a timely manner.

ION provided amazing service, they absolutely went above & beyond our expectations.  We were very impressed with everything from setup to delivery; it all went very smoothly. The quality of the products solidified the experience for us. A lot of the families at our school actually framed the art cards and used them as decor pieces. 

 

I recommend Connection in Color to anyone looking for a easy fundraiser with a big reward. The memories are precious and can be kept for a long time!

Participation in Connection in Color art fundraising was easy and straightforward. All supplies were provided and dropping the completed art off at the ION office was easy!

This fundraiser was very profitable and we received great feedback from both families and staff that it was an enjoyable experience.
