Painting With Purpose, Charity's Saving Grace.

The following is a press released submitted today.

The gloves are off and the bell has rung. The recession is here and it’s delivering blows across the nation. Families, corporations, government and sadly enough, even nonprofit organizations are feeling the effects. Painting With Purpose plans to make a difference by helping the nonprofit organizations fight back.

Founders Chris and Jon Thornham have created Painting With Purpose as an affordable and innovative approach to charity. They also plan to stimulate the economy by awarding cash prizes of up to $1,000,000. Painting With Purpose sells $3 digital copies of paintings created by children with special needs, donates 50% of the gross proceeds to charity, and awards prize money to their customers. Every 1,000th purchase is a winner and the prizes range in value from $5 to $1,000,000.

The digital paintings, similar to the Lance Armstrong bracelet, are a symbol of involvement. Every time a painting is purchased, customers are entered to win and the digital painting is emailed to their inbox. Painting With Purpose encourages their customers to be creative and show their paintings off however they like.

Painting With Purpose has also created a feature called AutoPay. AutoPay makes giving and winning affordable for everyone interested in continued involvement. Starting at $3 per year, customers choose how many digital paintings they would like to purchase, and how often they would like to purchase them. After that, AutoPay automatically emails your paintings to your inbox.
