The George Rodrigue Foundation is a nonprofit organization
that advocates the importance of the arts in the development of our youth. The
foundation plans, develops, and implements a series of unique educational
programs specifically designed to enhance and expand art curriculums. The George Rodrigue Foundation of
The Arts introduced the Print Donation Program in 2009, with the purpose to
help other nonprofit organizations to raise money. This program allows
nonprofits to use a collection of seven Estate Stamped George Rodrigue prints
as a fundraising vehicle.
As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has left many
companies, families, and nonprofit organizations in a financial bind. Even with
government assistance, many cannot make ends meet during these challenging
times. Nonprofits especially are struggling to bring in donations without being
able to host fundraisers. The GRFA has a solution for these organizations to
continue receiving donations while safety guidelines are still in place across
the United States.
For a limited time, the George Rodrigue Foundation is
allowing the sale of Rodrigue silkscreen prints, though the Print Donation
Program, for $1,000 plus tax and shipping. The GRFA will donate 50 percent of
each purchase ($500) to the nonprofit organization of the buyer's choosing. So
far, The George Rodrigue Foundation has been able to donate over $16,000 to 28
nonprofit organizations. The seven available prints for purchase are "A Number
One Tiger Fan," "Drew Brees," "Cat Tie," "The Three Amigos," "We Will Rise
Again," "You Can't Drown the Blues," and "We Are Marching Again." These
Louisiana-style paintings will give your house or office a great splash of
color.
