Waste your money
and you’re only out of money,
but waste your time
and you’ve lost
a part of your life

How do we make sure those volunteer pledges
are fulfilled? Once they have completed their
100 hour bid, we award participants an
original piece of Canadian art purchased from
an emerging artist who lives, works and
creates nearby. In a nutshell, it’s a win win
win. We pay the artists for their work, the non-
profits meet skilled volunteer, attendees make
volunteer matches
What is Timeraiser?
In 17 communities across Canada, people are
coming together to make firm commitments
to their communities. At Timeraiser events
they are bidding their valuable volunteer
time, not their money, on original artwork.
And most importantly, they are living up to
the promises they make.
How does it work?
Who is behind Timeraiser?
Anil Patel founded the Timeraiser program in
2004. Anil is an Ashoka Fellow and was
named a Globe and Mail “Catalyst” in 2013.
Anil has spoken at TEDx events and has
participated on the Board of United Way
Toronto and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
His vision for young professionals connecting
to their community while also becoming arts
patrons is behind the spread of the
Timeraiser program.
Supporting Nonprofits

generated 120,000 volunteer hours
It was a great event. You know you are getting quality people who are there because they want to volunteer. Great recruiting and stewardship event.

Creatively connecting people connect to causes they care about
Support for Artists
Since 2003, Timeraiser has
invested $820,000 into the careers of emerging Canadian
Artist
I truly appreciate the Timeraiser. As an emerging artist, or recent graduate, it is hard to gain traction financially but also creatively. It is a fragile time in our careers so it is nice to have an event as successful as timeraiser that not only provides promotion, but also pays artists for their work and gives us a venue to show our work to the public.
-- Tina Riedner
Rewarding Art Winners
Timeraiser has supported close to
2,000 Art Winners in completing over
120,000 volunteer hours

She also dedicated part of her pledge to Ashoka Canada, an organization supporting social entrepreneurs, where she worked on elements of the Changemakers competition titled Inspiring Approaches to First Nations, Metis and Inuit Education.
