Donations Policy

As You Wish loves to give back to our community. We are happy to donate photography services and products several times a year and welcome donation requests from groups with these characteristics:

501(c)(3) non-profit
an informative, up-to-date website
makes use of social media (facebook, flickr, Twitter, etc.)
clearly-delineated sponsorship levels indicating the recognition As You Wish will receive at the event
clearly listed details of the event (date, time, location, etc.)
adequate lead-time on the event to include As You Wish as a sponsor
for photo booth donations, a 10×10 area reserved for the booth without any obstructions
group’s use of As You Wish logos as presented (not screen captures from our sites)
communication after the event regarding monies raised, clients served, etc. so we can blog about your efforts and successes

Our usual donation is a portrait session with a print credit; this fits nicely into most silent auctions. Occasionally, we deep-discount event photography services and can provide either roaming event candids or a casual portrait station “photo booth”.

Because of Texas’ very strict laws regarding raffles (legal definitions), we will not make donations to be used in this manner.
