Art Gives: Donations with Purpose

Art Gives

Because giving is the highest form of love.

Art has always had the power to change lives. Now, that change can happen directly. Art Gives is an initiative that connects artists and collectors with charities, to transform art into fund-raising for important causes.

Through a carefully curated process, we ensure that high-calibre art finds new homes, and makes a tangible difference. This is not just an auction—it’s a movement.

Our goal is to raise £1M+ in charitable art donations this year, by enabling charities to enjoy the profits of galleries and auction houses, by providing a platform for artists and collectors to donate work they own to charities at cost.

Fund-Raising Event

We are thrilled to be partnered with McKay Williamson on delivering our Special Events programme this year. Their generous support of our work has already made a meaningful difference, and we look forward to growing this relationship as they help us raise vital funds for seriously ill children through their beautiful artwork. Thank you, McKay Williamson - were so excited to see what we can achieve together.

Richard, you’ve done it again. For the second year in a row, the donation you secured was our top auction lot on the night – over £100k secured this year to help our important work. From so many of us, thank you so very much.

The Prince’s Trust Events Team are hugely grateful for McKay Williamson’s support of our fundraising auctions. Your donations to our fundraising galas are always hugely popular and raise vital funds for our work with vulnerable young people. Thank you for all you do to support our work.

McKay Williamson kindly donated two pieces of art to the Womankind Gala auction. This was the first auction of its type and so it was great to secure their support early on in the process. We raised 3x what we expected from these pieces! I was impressed by McKay Williamson's professionalism during every aspect of the process and we look forward to working with them again
