Foundation Michelangelo
As the premier fine art auction item producer in America, we have made it our mission to provide charitable and nonprofit organizations, the ability to create highly successful and memorable auction based fundraising events.
Our unique program allows your organization to receive fine art masterpieces for your event with absolutely zero cost or obligation until the piece sells. Foundation Michelangelo covers the entire cost of freight and delivery to your location. In the rare event the piece does not sell at auction, included with the packing you will find the return shipping label prepaid by Foundation Michelangelo.
Participation could not be easier! We strive to make the process simple and easy. You simply select a piece or two that you think will appeal to your group and leave the rest to us:
– We will deliver it with all needed support materials.
– You keep focused on your event.
– All completely without risk or obligation.
(1) How Our Risk-Free Program Works:
YOU – Select item(s) from the Auction Gallery most suitable for your patrons.
You can, of course, choose more than one.
Another unique part of our program that we offer, should one of the items prove to be extremely popular, is the ability to offer MORE THAN ONE!
We call this our popular “Double Down” which can garner the event a doubling or tripling of the auction price offered for the original piece. You can read more about this unique opportunity HERE >
(2) It’s So Easy
WE – Pack your selected item(s) with a Presentation Board, Auctioneer Cue Card, auction Winner Envelope, and cover all costs of shipment either directly to the organization or private residence.
As you can read on our FAQ Page, there is never any risk on the part of the nonprofit. We cover shipping to the event and, if the piece does not sell, we cover all expenses for shipping the piece back to the Foundry!
(3) At Your Event
YOU – Display and sell the item(s) to the highest bidder at a live auction event!
We also provide collaterals for you to display with your piece to help create interest and establish the value of these beautiful sculptures. Using our proven tools for success your organization is guaranteed to have a successful event.
Some of your questions may also be covered on our FAQs Page >
(4) Certification of Authenticity and Delivery
WE – Send the Certificate of Authenticity and Owner Documentation directly to the winning bidder, reducing the post-event workload for you.
OUR GUARANTEED RISK-FREE PROGRAM:
If the piece doesn’t sell at auction, the nonprofit ships the piece back to Foundation Michelangelo; all of these shipping expenses are covered by Foundation Michelangelo! Your nonprofit assumes NO costs during the entire process.
