Why Art Fundraisers are Perfect for Homeschool Families & Co-Ops

Providing a rich and engaging education costs money, yet fundraising often feels out of reach for homeschool families and co-ops without the structure of a traditional school. At Original Works, we make fundraising accessible to everyone by providing parent-educators with everything they need to run a successful art fundraiser, from free art paper and lesson plan ideas to a dedicated account manager and free marketing materials.

Plus, our homeschool fundraising programs serve a greater purpose beyond simply raising money. They shift the focus from selling to creating, nurturing a child’s artistic development and boosting self-esteem.

How Do Homeschool Art Fundraisers Work?

Your children create original artwork that Original Works turns into high-quality keepsakes – like mugs, magnets, mousepads and more – which family, friends, neighbors and the local community can purchase to support your homeschool programs.

We provide you with lesson plan and art ideas, as well as the paper. When the artwork is complete, you send it to us and we upload it to your personalized website to allow for online ordering, or provide you with printed fundraising packets.

When the program is complete, Original Works fills the orders and sends a profit check directly to your homeschool or co-op!

5 Benefits of Art Fundraisers for Homeschools & Co-Ops

Designed with parent-educators in mind, our homeschool art fundraisers offer multiple benefits for you, your children and your donors.

• Creative Expression – Creating art requires children to use their imagination, and it opens them up to new ways of expressing and communicating their feelings, viewpoints and ideas.
• Increased Self-Esteem – Art encourages children to trust in their strengths and skills, building confidence, and seeing their artwork featured on products provides a sense of accomplishment.
• Unique Products – Rather than generic candy or wrapping paper, donors are more likely to support and buy when a child’s artwork is featured, boosting sales and overall success.
• Free Supplies & Support – We provide art instructions, free art paper and access to art idea sheets and lesson plans, as well as all necessary fundraising packets and marketing materials.
• Simple Process – Our art fundraisers are designed to be easy for parent-educators to organize and administer with a simple step-by-step process and a dedicated account manager.
