Overview
Getting involved in your community isn’t always easy, so we’ve made it simple for you to find relevant and meaningful opportunities that fit your busy lifestyle.

The Timeraiser is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. Throughout the evening, meet with different agencies and match your skills to their needs. Once you have made your matches, you are eligible to bid on artwork. The big twist is rather than bid money, you bid volunteer hours.

If you have the winning bid, you have 12 months to complete your pledge before bringing the artwork home as a reminder of your good will.

Results to Date:

• Hosted 29 Timeraiser events across Canada
• Generated 100,000 volunteer hours
• Invested $500,000 in the careers of emerging artists
• Supported 400 charities find volunteers
• Encouraged 6,043 Canadians to connect to a cause they care about

We hope to bring Timeraisers to communities all across North America.

We have some really fun projects that we could use your help with. From helping compile our new Timeraiser playlist, to our IT strategy or social media campaigns, take a look to see if there is a way to get involved directly with a Timeraiser or with Framework, the charity that runs the Timeraiser. You'll be directed to the Framework website to view all opportunities.
