BID TIME. DO GOOD. GET ART.
Established in 2003, Framework Foundation's signature program Timeraiser supports emerging Canadian artists and nonprofit organizations. Timeraiser is a silent art auction where attendees bid volunteer time, not dollars, for original art. In addition to supporting emerging artists (each work of art is purchased at market price), Timeraiser wants to foster and celebrate volunteerism nationally and in local communities.
Timeraiser is committed to inclusion and diversity we aim to ensure representation of underrepresented groups within Canada and to create an environment in which people feel involved, respected, valued and connected.
Through Timeraiser initiative we aim:
To promote the culture of volunteerism across Canada
To celebrate Canada’s emerging artists
To assist in building the capacity of nonprofits in Canada
To form connections within the community and break down barriers
To celebrate the vast ethnoracial and cultural diversity that is central to what makes Canada great.
Artists are paid for their work, nonprofits find skilled volunteers, Canadians find meaningful volunteer opportunities.
Timeraiser events are made possible thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers across Canada.
