Pixel Fundraising in Action

The Maple Grove PAC used Pixerria to replace ageing library books and add a new reading corner. Parents received pixel credits for every $20 donated, and classrooms competed to claim the most pixels in their school colours. The campaign finished in 18 days — 12 days ahead of schedule — because the canvas competition kept parents engaged long after the first share.

Westside Hockey's Bantam A team needed to cover flights and hotel costs for a provincial tournament. Team families used the campaign's canvas to paint the team's jersey colours and numbers — players claimed pixels in their own jersey number patterns. Local businesses who sponsored the team donated larger amounts, claiming bigger pixel patches in the team logo area.

The Downtown Food Bank's winter drive used Pixerria's large canvas format to create a donor wall effect. Every family who donated could place pixels forming a snowflake or star pattern — a public, permanent record of their generosity. The canvas became an installation at the food bank's year-end gala, displayed on a screen for all donors to see their contribution in the collective artwork.

Riverdale Community Theatre used Pixerria to fund costumes, set design, and venue costs for their spring production. Their arts-minded audience immediately connected with the idea of co-creating a pixel artwork alongside the show they were funding. Cast and crew shared the canvas on Instagram during the campaign, framing their pixel placement as part of the creative process.
