FAQs

*For information on ABLE’s rebrand, please visit our Instagram for detailed breakdowns and helpful walkthroughs!

When I donate to ABLE, where does my money go? 

100% of all donations we receive go directly to funding our operations. Whether that money is spent compensating artists/paying for manufacturing and delivery fees for merchandise, covering administrative costs (like our functioning website!), or on event fees (space rentals, F+B, etc…), all proceeds go directly to supporting our mission.

Is the ABLE Initiative a certified non-profit?

We were proudly incorporated as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization in 2024. All donations are tax-deductible, and you can always email us at info@ableart.studio to request additional information for tax reporting purposes.

How do I pay for my art or product?

All proceeds under ABLE go to a charity fighting for Black lives. After you donate* to the organization attached to a launch product (the organization is changed for every launch) or a tABLE commission (the organization is changed monthly) and provide proof of donation, we will send your requested art to you.

*If we receive money from you but not an email making a request for art, we will treat it as a donation to ABLE.

How does ABLE ensure transparency?

With every purchase of merchandise, you control where your money goes. After you donate to an organization and provide proof of donation, we send over the product or art piece. We keep track of all the proof we receive, and you can find financial reports on the impact page.

How can I support or donate to ABLE itself?

If you want to support us, go to our donation page, where we have a link to our PayPal, Venmo, and Givebutter! We are grateful for all of your donations, as each one provides necessary materials for our artists, covers event production and shipping when necessary, and ensures that we can keep providing quality art for you and making a change in the world. You can also shout us out on social media, promote our site, or get involved yourself!

*If we receive money from you but not an email making a request, we will treat it as a donation to ABLE.

Do you accept in-kind donations?

We do not provide direct relief, but if you are an artist looking to volunteer designs, or a business/organization looking to sponsor an event or collaborate, please email us info@ableart.studio.

How do I volunteer?

Launch Products

Because of limited stock, ABLE can only hold an order for three business days until we receive proof of donation. After three days, there is no guarantee that we will still have your order in stock.

tABLE Orders (Commissions)

ABLE artists have non-negotiable rates for their commissions, with no option to pay in installments. Failure to comply with these rates or bargaining means the artist does not have to fulfill the request.

Donations

In order to receive art, donors must first provide proof of donation. This can be a screenshot or pdf of anything that includes the amount of money paid, and blurring out personal information is encouraged. If we receive money from you but not an email making a request, we will treat it as a donation to ABLE.
