Art for Good, as a social enterprise under RAISE, embodies the essence of combining creativity with purpose. Its mission likely aligns with leveraging the arts to address social issues, promote well-being, and create a meaningful impact in communities. Social enterprises like this aim to sustain themselves financially while channeling profits into programs that drive positive social change.

While Social Enterprises need not necessarily be non-profit, most start ups usually operate in such a fashion. Art for Good is in the start up stage and it will be some time before it can attain sustainability and profitability. Ultimately, if the social enterprise can be profitable, it will mean that the work they do is self sustaining, which is a desired outcome for any organisation.

We believe in enabling and empowering, we work with our artists and beneficiaries in partnership. For our online shop, 60% will go directly to the beneficiaries and the 40% will go towards online marketing and manpower costs for our operations. 10% of our profit generating revenue is dedicated to non-profit projects and programs which was unable to receive sufficient funding. 100% of the donations received, after the deduction of the payment gateway fees, will also go towards our dedicated non-profit programs.

Art for Good receives projects which will include both paid and volunteer assignments, where we open the work to our Art for Good Community group. We invite hobbyists, artists, art teachers and art therapists to be part of the WhatsApp group chat, where we post call outs to support our projects. A short self introduction is required before joining this group, so we can get to know you better as part of our community group!

Due to the sensitive nature of Art Therapy, we are unable to have volunteers sit in or be a part of the clinical art psychotherapy sessions. Only certified art therapists can conduct art therapy sessions or workshops. Sometimes, we allow assistants to help out for art therapy workshops, which are not clinical in nature. However, most of the work that we do are clinical and therapeutic. Volunteerism is suggested for community art projects, which may not necessarily be Art Therapy, but apply the Art as Therapy approaches in the work we carry out. We suggest to join our Art for Good Community group, if you would like to be involved in our projects.
