An organization can either sell the print and keep the commission, or have a benefactor buy it and donate it to fundraising event. There are other creative ideas possible. The point in this case is not to create a tax deduction for me the artist, but to create win/win income for me and the charity, around the energy of fundraising activity. At this phase of my career and income, if I want to give, I'd rather just write a check I can afford than donate work, in most cases. Or in the above scenario, donate back all or part of the money I make on the deal. Then I can deduct it as a cash donation.
