ZipGive's Text to Donate program is helping the Vancouver Bienniale Public Art Exhibition in their fundraising efforts through text donation fundraising!

The Vancouver Biennale mounts a major biannual outdoor art exhibition featuring world-class international sculptures, new media and performance art. As well, the Vancouver Biennale produces publications, curriculum, professional symposiums and public lecture series. The objective is to celebrate art in public spaces, inviting the entire community to experience the brightest new and world renown talent in contemporary art - through a diversity of artistic mediums, aesthetic sensibilities and cultural perspectives, an open dialogue about the art and the importance of art in public spaces begins.

Vancouver Biennale is primarily funded through the sale of art after each exhibition by PHILLIPS de Pury & Company's. 100% of the profits from that sale are used to fund the next exhibition, which covers the majority of the operating budget. The Vancouver Biennale does supplement those monies with funding from many other sources, primarily corporate gifts-in-kind, private philanthropy, foundation grants, corporate sponsorship, and support from the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Board of Parks & Recreation and the City of Richmond.

ZipGive is pleased that the Vancouver Bienniale chose ZipGive's Text to Give platform to support the foundation's mobile fundraising and donor outreach programs.
