Vendor Opportunities

Annual vendor support allows Photographers for Charity to remain in the top tier of charitable organizations that adopt a charitable partner by allowing the organization to self-fund its administrative expenses and operational reserve fund. Here are some ways that your company can help us continue our charitable outreach:

Donate Items for our 2021 Annual Auction
Each year Photographers for Charity helps to fund its operating expenses through an auction during its gala “Celebration” event (date TBD). It’s not too early to contact us about donating auction items.

The 1% Difference Campaign
To help create a win-win situation for both Photographers for Charity and vendors, we sponsor “The 1% Difference” campaign for companies who wish to spotlight a single product or category of products for which 1% of annual sales will be donated to Photographers for Charity to assist its support of Operation Smile. We will include these offers on our website, and vendors are urged to advertise the products on their individual websites.

Become a VIP (Vendor in Partnership) with Photographers for Charity
Our VIP program recognizes those vendors that donate $500 or more annually to Photographers for Charity to help the organization meet its annual financial goals. Participating vendors are provided with logo and signage for use in identifying them as Photographers for Charity VIPs as well as listed in the annual Donor Report, which is published on this website at the beginning of each new year.

Help to Sponsor Photographers for Charity Events
Vendor sponsorship of our events, such as the annual “Celebration” event, help to make our fundraising activities possible. For information on corporate sponsorship of our events, contact Bert Behnke, Photographers for Charity Executive Director at (708) 267-0657 or bert@behnkephoto.com.

Special Promotions
Companies that wish to highlight their commitment to helping others — to their customers and/or to the industry — are welcome to propose special fundraisers to benefit Photographers for Charity and/or our charitable partners, such as Operation Smile. If vendors wish to share details of their promotions with other companies and our donors, they can do so through the Vendor News section of this website.

If your company wishes to propose any other types of cooperative ventures, please contact Bert Behnke at (708) 267-0657 or bert@behnkephoto.com.

Photographic vendors are vital not only to the success of P4C members but all photographers. Industry vendors provide invaluable support to Photographers for Charity through their donations of both funds and resources that further the organization’s charitable aims.
