When throwing a charity event, are you supposed to give them all the money?

I%26#039;m planning an art show for later in the year. It will consist of 30-35 artists work and I would like to have it as a charity event, but I was only going to have a percentage of the money from any purchased art go to the charity and the rest would go to the artists. Is that wrong? How do these things usually work? I don%26#039;t wanna look like a schmuck especially since there are some pretty big celebrities associated with the charity I%26#039;m considering.



As long as you advertise what percentage is for charity.


Your ads could say 25% of all proceeds will be donated to %26quot;Name Your Charity%26quot; Make sure you have the written permission of the charity to collect monies in their name




nah, save some for yourself




No, it isn%26#039;t wrong providing that you make it clear that the whole amount will not be going to charity.





You will probably have to hire a room for this so that would be expenses to take out of money taken and the artists themselves (unless they are donating 100% their paintings) should receive some of the money.





I%26#039;d suggest that you discuss this with the artists themselves and find out how much of the selling prices they would wish to donate to the charity then make the details clear on any advertising flyers and posters etc.
