Partner With Us
At Penzam, we believe creativity shouldn't be a privilege. That's why every purchase you make directly funds art supplies for underfunded school programs, community art initiatives, and sponsored emerging artists. Buy a brush, give a brush. Stock your studio and help stock someone else's. We're not just a supply store — we're a creative ecosystem built on the idea that art thrives when everyone has access to the tools to make it. Whether you're a professional artist, a weekend crafter, or a teacher stretching a thin budget, shopping with Penzam means your dollars do double duty. Welcome to the store that gives back, one supply at a time.
Penzam is more than a store, it’s a movement to put quality art supplies in the hands of every aspiring creator. We can’t do it alone. Whether you make the supplies or you’re hungry to use them, there’s a place for you in this mission.
For Brands & Wholesalers
Partner with a retailer whose customers care about more than just price.
Penzam customers don’t shop with us because we’re the cheapest option, they shop with us because every purchase supports a cause they believe in. That makes them a fundamentally different kind of buyer: loyal, engaged, vocal, and willing to invest in quality products that reflect their values.
When you partner with Penzam, your brand gets in front of that audience , and goes further than a typical retail relationship ever could.
What partnership with Penzam delivers:
Reach new artists at the start of their journey:
Every month, our donations place premium supplies directly into the hands of students, emerging artists, and program participants who would otherwise never experience your brand. These are the working artists, illustrators, and educators of tomorrow, and their first exposure to professional-grade materials is the one that shapes lifelong brand loyalty.

Expand your market without discounting.
Your full-margin retail customers stay full-margin. Meanwhile, Penzam’s donation engine introduces your products to an entirely new audience that traditional retail can’t economically reach,underfunded schools, community programs, and aspiring artists priced out of premium supplies. We grow your addressable market without eroding your pricing power.
Build authentic goodwill in the art community.
Today’s artists, teachers, and creative communities pay close attention to which brands show up for them. Partnering with a mission-driven retailer aligns your name with a cause that resonates deeply, and earns the kind of organic advocacy that no ad budget can buy.
Co-branded impact stories.
We document where every donation goes, and we’d love to tell those stories alongside you. Featured partner spotlights, classroom impact reports, sponsored-artist showcases, and joint social campaigns put your brand at the center of a narrative customers actually want to share.

Become a founding mission partner.
We’re building Penzam from the ground up, and we’re looking for a small group of brands to grow with us. Founding partners receive prominent placement, first consideration for sponsored artist supply programs, and the lasting credit that comes with helping launch something meaningful.
If your brand believes that art belongs in every hand — not just the ones that can afford it — let’s talk.
For Artists, Schools & Programs
Tell us your story. Let us help you keep creating.
The heart of Penzam is the artists, educators, and programs we support. Whether you’re a public school art teacher stretching a thin budget, a community organization running creative workshops, or an emerging artist who can’t afford the materials to grow your practice, we want to hear from you.
We donate supplies to three groups:
Schools & educators.
Public school art programs, after-school creative initiatives, and teachers funding their own classrooms. If you’ve ever paid out of pocket for student supplies, this is for you.
Community art programs.
Nonprofits, community centers, libraries, youth programs, art therapy initiatives, and any organization using creativity to serve underrepresented populations.
Sponsored artists.
Emerging artists demonstrating both talent and financial need. Selected artists receive ongoing supply support and a featured spotlight on our platform to help build their audience.
How to apply:
There’s no lengthy form to start the conversation — just reach out and tell us:
• Who you are and what you create or teach
• The community or students you serve (if applicable)
• What kind of supplies would make the biggest difference
• A few examples of your work, your classroom, or your program (photos, links, or anything that brings it to life)
We review every submission personally. Approved partners receive supply donations on a recurring basis, and we feature your story across our platform whenever possible, turning our community of customers into your community of supporters.
