Give through Ruwa

The gift that says someone
is paying attention.

Every commission Ruwa places begins with a portrait — a record of who someone is, what they love, and what belongs in their life. Tell us where you are and we'll take it from there.

Each commission begins with a $150 brief fee, applied to the final work. Coordination is 15% on commissioned spend.You approve the direction before anything is placed.

Where would you like to start

01

They have a portrait and have shared it with me

The portrait is ready. A curator works from it immediately — you approve the direction before anything is placed.

A partner, close friend, or someone who uses Ruwa

+

02

They don't have a portrait yet — they can be involved

Ruwa reaches out to them, invites them to build their portrait, and returns to you with a commission drawn from it.

An anniversary, a significant birthday, a valued colleague

+

03

It's a surprise — they can't know anything

Tell us what you know. A curator connects the dots from your brief and returns with a direction before anything is placed.

A surprise gift, a corporate commission

+

04

We're giving as a group

Contribute toward something significant — a single piece, an experience curated around a specific interest, or a journey built around two diverging sensibilities woven together. One brief, one direction.

A milestone birthday, a retirement, a honeymoon

+

Enter the portrait link they shared with you. A curator reads it and contacts you within two business days. You approve the direction before anything is placed.

Ruwa will contact the recipient before any commission is placed.

Tell us what you know about them. A curator connects the dots from your brief and returns with a direction before anything is placed. The recipient is never contacted.

Not their job title — how they are. What makes them them.
Objects, places, foods, experiences, makers, materials — anything they reach for.
Values, not virtues. What they actually orient their life around.
