JG Gives — Charity Architecture

Art that changes the world. Documented forever.

Three Gives cycles a year. Three tiers of beneficiaries. The split is published on every lot before bidding opens. The chain of giving is permanent.

The mechanism

50 · 30 · 20 · 100.

50%

To the artist

Always. Documented. Non-negotiable. The artist who donated the work receives half of the winning bid.

30%

To the cause

To the verified beneficiary named before the first bid is placed. Tax receipt for the charitable portion generated automatically on lot close.

20%

To the gallery

Transparent. Fixed. Published on every lot page before bidding opens. No surprises, no after-charge.

100%

On the chain

Documented on the SENTYAL Provenance Chain. Permanent public record. COA + tax receipt + ANIMUS Identity Card delivered within 24 hours of lot close.

How it works in detail
Three cycles a year

Three tiers of beneficiaries.

April · Year 1

Bainbridge Arts & Crafts

Founded 1948. The oldest arts nonprofit on the island. Artists JG represents already show there. The cause-to-canvas connection is direct and honest.

August · Year 1

Kimball Art Center

October · Year 1

Rotating cause

Each cycle, a third beneficiary rotates in alongside the two local anchors. Youth arts education, environmental causes, community-specific needs.

Cycle details →
Year 2 onward

Art for Young Voices.

JG’s own named program. Built on two years of documented BAC and Kimball impact. By Year 3 it becomes the headline of the international campaign — a signature no competitor can replicate.

Art for Young Voices funds art education for underserved youth across Bainbridge Island and Park City school districts. Direct funding to teachers and programs, with annual impact reports tying each contribution to specific outcomes.

The scale

One gallery is a charity auction. Five hundred galleries is a movement.

At 500 galleries running 3 cycles each: 1,500 auctions per year, 7,500+ lots documented annually. The annual impact report becomes the most credible charitable giving record in the art world. No auction house has built this. No platform has built it.

The scale argument
For everyone

Six ways into the program.

High-net-worth collectors who want measurable impact. Artists who want their gift permanently documented. Galleries who want the same architecture in their own community. Causes that need credible giving infrastructure. International collectors who require evidence of social outcome. Community members who can give directly to a beneficiary without bidding.
