At The True Top 1% Foundation, we believe in the power of art to inspire, heal, and bring communities together. This belief drives our commitment to providing masterful pieces of art to veteran-owned non-profits and organizations dedicated to supporting the military community. Our mission is twofold: to elevate fundraising efforts and to raise awareness about the critical issue of alcohol abuse within the military. This also helps to increase our network of resources that we can use to help our Veteran community.
Our art pieces are designed to be the centerpiece of any fundraising event. Starting at a substantial size of 3ft x 4ft and often larger, these paintings command attention and generate significant interest. Each piece has the potential to raise between $400 and $2,000 for the organizations we support. By contributing these unique works, we help non-profits achieve their financial goals, allowing them to continue their essential work within the military community.
In addition to supporting fundraising efforts, our art carries a powerful message. Each painting is created using a beer bottle, symbolizing the issue of alcohol abuse in the military. This innovative approach not only raises awareness but also sparks conversations around this critical issue, promoting a deeper understanding and encouraging action within the community.

Our Executive Director personally donates his time and talent to create these masterpieces. Through this initiative, we have helped numerous organizations enhance their fundraising efforts and fulfill their missions. Below are examples of our recent contributions:
Each of these contributions reflects our commitment to supporting and empowering non-profits that serve our military community.
