When I purchase a grantLOVE item, where does my money go?

If you buy a grantLOVE item from one of our nonprofit partners, your money goes directly to the nonprofit. grantLOVE has donated the artwork or product to the nonprofit for them to sell and all profits from the sale benefit them.

If you buy a grantLOVE item from this website, coming soon Pledge’s Give & Grow app will make transparent where the purchase funds go, what nonprofits are supported, and what percentage goes to them. From any funds not donated we pay our artist fees for our collaborators and costs for the materials and the production of the artwork. In this way, we've created job opportunities for our multiple artists, printers, and fabricators. Alexandra Grant, who owns grantLOVE, LLC, also donates to numerous nonprofits from her royalties and other earnings, after taxes, from her art.

Is my purchase tax-deductible?

That depends where your grantLOVE purchases are made and how much you pay for them. If you buy grantLOVE works directly from a nonprofit, then the amount you've spent, if any, ABOVE the fair market value of the artwork is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For example, if you buy a grantLOVE print directly from a nonprofit for $175 and the market value (established here on this website) is $150, the additional $25 you paid to the nonprofit is tax-deductible. Please consult the nonprofit and your tax advisor for more information.

If you buy grantLOVE art from this website, your purchase is not tax-deductible.

Is grantLOVE a nonprofit organization?

No. grantLOVE is an LLC, not a nonprofit or a charity. However, the owner of grantLOVE, Alexandra Grant, truly believes in supporting charitable causes. She regularly supports nonprofits personally, helping them raise friends and funds through the donation of grantLOVE artworks and products.

The grantLOVE Fund is fiscally sponsored by the Pledgeling Foundation and allows us to connect to multiple nonprofit organizations.
