Employees of DESA Unicum engage in collaboration with foundations by coordinating activities around auctions – starting from acquiring items, creating auction catalogs, storing artworks earmarked for auction, to conducting and settling the financial aspects of the auctions. DESA Unicum's involvement doesn't end with the final gavel strike at the auction; on the contrary, we continuously work in this regard throughout the year, and the auction itself is the culmination and inspiration for further action. The experience gained during charity auctions allows us to become even more deeply involved in new projects.
DESA Unicum does not charge any commission on sold artworks during charity projects, and foundations are not burdened with any costs related to the work of DESA Unicum employees involved in the project. When organizing charity auctions, we do not charge buyers a standard auction fee added to the winning bid. As a market leader, we believe that our know-how is very helpful in optimizing the results of charity auctions.
In the coming years, DESA Unicum plans to intensify its pro bono activities to be able to provide even more effective assistance to those in need.
