About A Non-Profit Showcase:
Non-Profits play a very important role in our nation, whether on a small, grassroots, local level, or on a large national level. They all have one common goal in mind to use their passions to make the world a better place dealing directly with the issues that impact humanity. This is a noble path that requires dedication, hard work, and community support. With more and more non-profits popping up everyday, one can only imagine the great changes that must be happening. However with this increase in new non-profits it is becoming more difficult to gain the resources necessary to maintain, or expand, successful and innovative programming. A viable solution to this dilemma is to share resources and work together. Many non-profits have had unbelievable successes partnering up on programs. For example, Meals on Wheels, partnered with SPCA to deliver food to both adults and their pets. Thus saving thousands of dollars annually in time, money and fuel. That is exactly the type of collaboration that keeps non-profits making a positive difference in our community. Due to our current economic situation, finding adequate funding sources for non-profit programs and organizations is an ever-increasing challenge. It is more important than ever for non-profits to band together, and discover ways to collaborate and cooperate to provide humanity with what it really needs… our help.
Gallery5’s Non-Profit Showcase aims to bring as many non-profits together for a specific cause to create a piece of artwork that reflects the goals and values of each organization. The artwork will be on display through the month of February. The first goal of Gallery5’s non-profit showcase is to open dialogue among non-profits so they may learn about each participating organization, and open the door for new collaborative possibilities. On Thursday, February 5th, Gallery5 will host a private reception to promote a new era of cooperation and collaboration among all of the participating organizations, encouraging each attendee to meet with their peers, mingle, and dive into the pool of possibilities. The following night on First Friday, February 6th, each non-profit will have their piece of art on display in the gallery and be provided a table to share information with all of the attendees. This unique venue will promote open conversation with the general public making them more aware of Richmond’s many wonderful non-profit and volunteer causes.
A silent auction will be held during private and opening reception.
Auction ends at 11PM on Friday, February 6th.
