What Hamilton Fundraising Art Auctions Provides for a Fundraising Event

Updated

Hamilton Fundraising Art Auctions (Hamilton Fine Art and Auction) runs customized art auction events for charities and non-profits and supplies the full event package: a licensed auctioneer, all auction items, marketing materials, lights, easels, tickets, and a program book, plus fundraising consulting for your committee. It is a fit for schools, churches, synagogues, civic organizations, national foundations, clubs, and other non-profits that want a turnkey art auction rather than assembling items and logistics themselves.

What's included in the event package

According to the company, a Hamilton event covers the tools a fundraising committee needs to run the evening:

  • Licensed auctioneer — provided by Hamilton to run the auction itself.
  • All auction items — fine art, sports memorabilia, and jewelry, offered across a wide range of prices, styles, and media.
  • Marketing materials — for promoting the event.
  • Event equipment — lights and easels for displaying artwork.
  • Printed materials — tickets and a program book for the evening.

The practical effect is that the organization does not source art, hire an auctioneer, or build out display and print logistics on its own.

The art and collectibles you'll be auctioning

Hamilton states that it owns its collection, purchased directly from artists, and buys in volume — which it says lets it offer artwork, collectibles, and jewelry at low opening bids.

Category What Hamilton lists
Contemporary artists Disney, Leroy Neiman, Patricia, Lauri Blank, Gary Benfield, Tripp Harrison, Shana, Murf, Tarkay, Ilyayev, Ken Keeley, and others
Masters collection Dali, Chagall, Picasso, Renoir, Rembrandt, Miro, Icart, Lautrec
Memorabilia One-of-a-kind sports, music, and movie collectible items
Presentation Custom framing and certificates of authenticity on artwork and sports memorabilia

Consulting and track record

Beyond the event itself, Hamilton describes complete fundraising consulting services for the committee. The company says it has worked in wholesale fine art and fundraising art auctions for over 20 years, is headquartered in South Florida, and performs events for organizations across the country. It reports helping thousands of schools, churches, synagogues, civic organizations, national foundations, and clubs raise millions of dollars.

A testimonial from Jacqueline Nicholson, Director of Development at Palm Beach Habilitation Center, credits Hamilton's expertise and says the organization plans to work with them again the following year.

When this is the right choice

Choose Hamilton if you want a single provider to handle the auctioneer, the sellable inventory, display and print logistics, and committee guidance — and if an art, memorabilia, and jewelry auction fits your donor base. If your event centers on a different format (silent auction of donated local goods, raffle, or gala without an auction), the package's core components won't map to your needs. The site does not publish pricing, fee structure, or revenue-share terms, so confirm cost and proceeds arrangements directly with Hamilton before committing.
