If you’d like real reassurance, we recommend reaching out directly to some of the charities we’ve worked with. We’re proud to let our partners speak for themselves.
Helping Charities Worldwide
Michael has been honored to support many respected organizations, including:
Michael and Warren Buffett
Every now and then, a truly rare opportunity appears—
Michael has been honored to perform at some of the most important events in the world—painting the President’s portrait at Inaugural Balls, sharing the stage at Presidential Dinners, and capturing Warren Buffett at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Meeting.
He’s been flown across the globe by major corporations, celebrities, and even U.S. Presidents—not just for his talent, but for the powerful emotional connection his performances create.
But what means the most to him isn’t fame or spotlight—it’s using his gift to make a real difference.
That’s why he created Works4Charity—to give back in the most impactful way possible.
If you’re considering someone to inspire your audience and raise support for your cause, ask these three questions:
-
Will they perform at no cost to your organization?
-
Can they raise tens—or even hundreds of thousands—for your mission?
-
Will they cover all expenses so your charity carries zero risk?
If the answer isn’t a clear yes, you may be taking a chance you can’t afford.
When the stakes are high and your cause truly matters, choose someone who delivers with heart.
How much can Michael raise for us?
Michael’s art sells—and it inspires.
He’s helped raise as much as $400,000 in a single night, but even at more intimate events, his artwork alone often brings in $40,000 to over $250,000—creating a powerful boost for the cause.
And that’s just the beginning.
The energy he brings often sparks new sponsorships, drives higher ticket sales, and leaves guests deeply moved—making his true impact far greater than the auction total.
What happens if his artwork doesn't sell?
Unlike most entertainers who require a guaranteed paycheck, Michael guarantees you income.
His artwork always sells—often so well that additional pieces are created in his studio afterward to fulfill demand.
But if, for any reason, the art doesn’t sell, Michael’s personal guarantee ensures your charity still receives a generous donation and is not stuck out of pocket with expenses.
You never walk away empty-handed.
Did we mention it's easy and turnkey?
From day one, our team becomes part of your team—supporting your marketing and promotions, helping find the best travel options, and handling all the details most event companies can’t.
We prepare, pack, and ship everything needed: art supplies, backdrop, equipment, and more. Then we’re on-site early to set up, coordinate with your team, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
You won’t have to lift a finger—even the artwork is delivered by us after the event.
But, what if?
What if we have a tight schedule?
Michael has dazzled audiences in as little as 7 minutes—raising $83,000 on the spot.
Longer shows have brought in up to $400,000 in a single night.
As soon as the final painting is complete, he joins the auctioneer for a fast, high-energy, all-at-once auction that keeps the momentum—and the bids—flowing.
What if we have another act on the stage?
Any stage, any space—Michael makes it work.
From a 4×6 foot corner to the Olympic Medal Stage—even underwater with scuba divers as stagehands—he’s done it all.
Michael also plays well with others. He’s shared the stage with Billy Idol, Jay Leno, Brooks & Dunn, Bruce Springsteen, Tony Robbins, and more—bringing unforgettable energy to every kind of event.
Can Michael help us gain sponsors?
Absolutely—and in many cases, he’s the reason sponsors say yes.
If you’re trying to attract corporate CEOs, philanthropists, and wealthy retirees, a local entertainer or unknown act just won’t cut it. These guests have seen it all—and they’re asked to support every other charity in town.
What gets their attention is something truly extraordinary.
Michael’s name, reputation, and electrifying performance create instant buzz. Sponsors want to be part of that kind of excitement—and they know their guests will be impressed.
Even better, Michael can provide exclusive incentives for your top sponsors:
hand-painted wine bottles worth $2,500 each, collectible paintbrushes splattered during the performance and displayed in elegant cases, or fine art prints—all powerful keepsakes that deepen their connection to your cause.
Michael doesn’t just perform—he helps you attract, impress, and reward your most valuable supporters.
We can customize this video for your corporate sponsor outreach
Michael can help you secure more sponsorships—and ensure your sponsors actually show up.
His name and performance create real excitement, making sponsors eager to attend in person—and even bring high-level associates, executives, and top clients with them.
That kind of presence leads to meaningful connections, greater support, and lasting impact—far better than sponsors sending lower-level staff just to fill seats.
