Paintings For A Purpose 501(c)(3)

Paintings for a Purpose is an annual fundraiser supporting community organizations by raising funds through local artists and their artwork. Today, Paintings for a Purpose is a registered nonprofit with a complete eCommerce website and multiple art shows per year. This organization started in 2021 as a simple, cash-and-check-only fundraiser featuring my grandfather’s watercolor paintings, which relied heavily on word-of-mouth advertising. With my leadership, we have transformed it into a formal 501(c)(3) organization and established a recognizable brand across the Lakes Region in New Hampshire.

As Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer, I built Paintings for a Purpose’s infrastructure from the ground up. I created a robust website, expanded sponsor and community engagement, established a partner-driven social media presence, and designed custom 3D-printed plaques for shows. I also oversaw finance and sales operations. The organization has raised substantial funds for local causes and is poised to continue expanding its impact.
