Step 1
ATTRACT
World-Famous Artist Performs Live Tonight!
Give the press something worth covering—and give sponsors and guests another compelling reason to attend, invite friends, and support your gala.
Press & Media
Michael’s studio provides a ready-to-use press kit with professionally written press releases, exciting photographs, performance video, and a targeted list of media contacts in your event’s area. Custom promotional assets can also be created for your organization.
Sponsors & VIP Guests
Use collectible artwork prints, exclusive artist experiences, and a high-value hand-painted wine bottle to enhance sponsorship packages, attract new supporters, and create premium VIP ticket opportunities.
Step 2
ENGAGE
Goosebumps rise. Sometimes tears fall. Always standing ovations.
Your mission comes alive through an unforgettable theatrical experience of music, movement, and emotional storytelling—culminating in original fine art your guests will be inspired to own.
Michael’s team brings the materials, sets the stage, and runs the show.
You and your guests simply sit back and experience the moment.
Step 3
ENERGIZE
Pure energy and emotion fill the room.
There is no additional donation ask—only the opportunity for guests to own the artwork they have just watched come to life.
When demand exceeds the number of artworks Michael creates onstage, orders may be taken for additional original works—creating even more potential revenue for your mission.
It is entirely new revenue, added to your existing fundraising—revenue that could not exist without the performance and artwork.
Step 4
REMEMBER
Every guest leaves with a story they will share long after the applause.
Winning bidders receive original artwork to display in their homes or offices—a conversation piece and lasting reminder of your mission and the lives they helped change.
Michael’s team handles every artwork after the event. Guests never have to figure out how to transport a large, freshly painted canvas, and your organization never has to store, insure, or deliver it.
The performance ends. The story—and its impact—lives on.

Charity Program FAQ
What is Works4Charity?
Works4Charity™ is a program of Michael Israel Inc. — a professionally run, done-for-you fundraising entertainment program. Michael’s team handles the live performance, the original artwork, and the production, planning, and art-sales support, while your organization runs its event exactly as it normally would. Selected nonprofits participate with a $0 performance fee.
What does it cost our organization?
There is no performance fee. The program also covers the related travel and production costs, and its Safety Net means no out-of-pocket cost to your charity. Your team keeps doing what it already does — guests, sponsors, and your other fundraising — while we bring the centerpiece moment and the art that funds it. No other headline attraction can make that promise.
How much can the artwork raise?
Original works are always created and auctioned live, with the option for more. The artwork typically brings in tens of thousands of dollars, and sometimes more than $100,000 at a single event.
Won’t this compete with our existing fundraising?
No — it’s additive. It’s a new, high-energy revenue moment built around original art that guests genuinely want, not another donation ask. It gives sponsors and ticket buyers something they’ve never seen and creates bidding excitement that lifts the entire evening.
How long is the performance, and what do we provide?
Flexible — as short as 7 minutes and up to 40 minutes, or longer if you need. The sweet spot is three paintings in about 20 minutes. You provide the same things you’re already providing for your event: a stage area and standard event A/V. Every technical detail is coordinated in advance with our production team. We provide all specialize materials, equipment, and crew.
What happens to the paintings after?
We handle the artwork, so winning bidders don’t have to take a six-foot wet canvas home in their car, and your committee doesn’t have to store, insure, or deliver anything after the event.
How do we explore it for our event?
