First... I LOVE ROCKS!

I also paint them. In much the same fashion as you. I also gift them...cause, they are rocks... and rocks are awesome.

Anywho... I also run a nonprofit, and we do fundraisers, and sometimes we ask for 'art' donations (we live in a VERY art-driven community) to be auctioned or raffled. And while we do 'pimp' the artists pretty hardcore during the auctions, it's still likely it's 'just a donation'.

Yes, because of where I live, there are several 'bites' and artists DO end up getting more work from the event. But honestly, most of the time, the event is for the organization and that's where the focus lies.

I don't think it's really the fault of anyone. Just how it turns out.

So, yes, recognition is a thing and can help your business grow, especially if you 'show up' at a lot of different places... but mostly, when dealing with non-profits, it's a donation of good will.😍

I'd say, "Keep painting rocks!" if that's what makes your heart sing, and eventually, it could 'pay off'. 🥰
