Orange County resident Cristina Robeck has launched GivePrints.com, a faith-based business that sells pictures and shares half of the profits with charities.
The idea for the Santa Ana-based for-profit company stemmed from Robeck’s desire to help other photographers publicize their work while helping worthy organizations to spread love around the world. Photographers from San Diego to Los Angeles have joined in and handed over an array of images in categories such as land, life and water.
The photographs cost $25 and the customer can select the charity that will receive 50 percent of the proceeds; featured nonprofits include AIDS Lifecycle 10, Campus Crusade for Christ International, CHOC Children's and Walking on Water.
“My desire is to give so that people are loved in tangible ways. Giving 50 percent of our profits to our partner charities allows that to happen," said Robeck. "My hope is that as people buy a print and gaze into it, they will be reminded of how deeply they are loved."
