This presentation is about how Custom Tile by XThings helps nonprofits accomplish their missions by creating fundraising murals. It explains the process and has examples of murals we have done.

1. Helping nonprofits with
Fundraising Murals

2. Who We Are
 Started in 2006
 Was originally a side project making tile murals and
accent tiles for homes and businesses
 In 2009 a nonprofit approached us with the idea and in
2010 we did a few tile murals recognizing their donors
 In 2013 a nonprofit consultant suggested we focus on
not only making murals for nonprofits but also on raising
the money for the nonprofits by getting sponsors for all
of the tiles

3. How It All Works
 A nonprofit determines they need a certain amount of
money for something
 That amount determines how big the mural will need to
be
 For example, a nonprofit needs $50,000 to renovate part
of their building
 That means we need to plan a 100 square feet mural,
composed of 100 12inch by 12inch tiles

4. How It All Works (continued)
 We work with the nonprofit to raise $62,500
 The money is collected by the nonprofit and then they
pay CustomTile
 CustomTile does not directly collect any money
 The nonprofit keeps at least 80% of the proceeds – in
our example $50,000

5. Some Examples
This mural was done for a Meals
onWheels.
In the Close-up shot on the next
slide you can barely make out
the sponsor names.
In the extreme close-up on the
slide after that you can easily see
the sponsor names.

14. What If We Don’t Raise All The
Money?
 In our example the nonprofit needed $50,000 so we
needed to raise $62,500 to maintain the 80% kept by the
nonprofit that we want
 If there was only enough interest to raise $50,000 we
resize the mural to 80 tiles instead of 100, reducing the
cost so the 80% is maintained
 If more money is raised the mural size can be increased
or a second mural can be created

15. Designed to be Low Risk
 Ways we have designed the process to be low risk:
 Money goes directly to nonprofit and then they pay
CustomTile
 Mural is scaled to amount of money raised to keep
80% of money going to the nonprofit
 80% of money going to the nonprofit is VERY high
 Many fundraising companies keep 50% of the money
raised.
