Charitable Fundraising Program

LEON LOARD™ is giving back to your community!

Over the past several years, LEON LOARD™ has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to worthwhile fundraising efforts in your local schools, churches, and community organizations through the practice of offering our handpainted Signature oil portraits and our original commissioned oil portraits as an auction item for community fundraising events. Through this worthwhile endeavor we are able to give back to our community.

We want to continue these efforts and encourage you to view our website and determine if our handpainted Signature oil portraits and/or original commissioned oil portraits may be a good match for your event. Please read all of this information and submit your requests in a timely fashion. Currently we are working to identify events for the upcoming Fall and Spring seasons.

Please submit your completed Donation Request Form a minimum of 10 (ten) weeks prior to the scheduled event. Our decision will be based on many factors including … recently approved events in your area … our clients' recommendations in your area and … our sales history in your area.

If you meet the criteria and would like to partner with LEON LOARD™ for your event, follow the link to the Donation Request Form, and complete ALL of the required information. Our Marketing Department will review each request and a final decision will be made within 30 days of the date of your request. We will inform you of our decision by email. We will correspond by email with the contact person you have indicated on the Donation Request Form.

Currently this offer is extended only to the Southeast region and will include areas in: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Texas (I-20 corridor west to Dallas & I-10 corridor west to Houston).

Thank you for your interest in our portraits and we look forward to working with you to ensure the continuation of the wonderful tradition of fine oil portraiture for many generations to come.
