About made4aid

Visit the made4aid blog to see our current auction items!

made4aid is like a combination of eBay, Etsy and Freecycle, with all proceeds going to charitable work and organisations.

made4aid is a non-profit-making project to raise money for charity through the generosity of creative people around the world. Handmade art or craft items - or materials - can be donated to made4aid and will be sold through online auction to raise money for aid.

made4aid is a website and also a linked blog where you can see and buy unique handmade items and artwork, knowing that the money you spend will go to charity.

made4aid will be (we hope!) a hub for links and resources on handmade art and crafts.

made4aid is supporting relief work in refugee camps in Darfur. Future aid projects will be selected as needs occur.

A quick introduction:

made4aid is a new charitable project launching in June 2009.

On this website you will find information about the History and background of this non-profit-making charity organisation. We aim to raise money for charity and aid work through on-line auction of handmade art and craft items.  We will be selling handmade jewellery,  artwork, felt, cards, clothing and accessories, knitting, weaving and other textiles, art prints, patchwork. Also supplies for hand-made arts, crafts and hobbies. The items for sale will be donated by all kinds of creative people who make things either for fun, as a hobby, or as part of a business.  On the Overview page we explain how made4aid works.

On the Donating to made4aid pages you will find information on the kinds of art and craft work which might be donated to made4aid - the things which we will be selling online. There are guidelines here about possible items to give, addresses and instructions.

If you want to look at the lovely artwork and crafts which are for sale, please visit the auction blog made4aid, which gives full descriptions and details of the items currently on sale, postage information and instructions on how you can bid on these items. The Buying from made4aid page on this website also gives some information.

For information about the charity and aid projects we are supporting, see the Charity information page. We will keep this page updated with information about the money raised so far and about the charity and aid projects to which the money will be given.

If you can help to advertise and promote this charitable project with people who are interested in art and craft, please see our promotion page for information about how you might be able to help.

We will be adding links, on the Links page, to other websites which contribute to charity through art and craft. We will also list websites which are interesting and useful for artists and crafters - sources of ideas and inspiration, websites and blogs which give tutorials in how to make and create.

We hope you will spend some time exploring this website and that it gives you all the information you need about made4aid.  If it doesn't, please do contact us!
