Fundraising Apparel Sale

Does your school, team, cause or non-profit have a passionate group of supporters?  

If so, your fans and supporters would likely be willing to purchase your fundraising shirt and other apparel. It’s a win-win situation where a portion of the purchase price is refunded for your cause and your supporters enjoy proudly wearing the apparel. 

Special Event T-Shirts

Special fundraising events are an opportunity to increase awareness and raise thousands of dollars on a single day for the cause.

Special event screen printed t-shirts are very popular since they create a sense of unity at the event and create awareness of the cause afterward.

Cause-Related Fundraising

When people are passionate about a cause that’s important to them, their purchase of apparel allows them to ‘rep the cause’ while raising funds to support it.   

Back The Blue apparel is a great example of offering the community a way to show their support while raising funds for local law enforcement.

Engraved Brick Fundraisers

Brick fundraisers are highly effective in raising significant revenue because people are familiar with them and know what to expect. It’s a permanent way for donors to be remembered and are visible for generations to come.

Brick fundraisers are also functional and beautiful as an entrance, walkway, garden or memorial.

There is no minimum quantity so you can order and install the personalized bricks in smaller batches and donors are happy to see their brick sooner.

Donor Recognition

Planned giving represents significant donations of cash, equity, or property that are given over a period of time. There are a limited number of donors who are in a financial position to make major gifts and it does not seem proper to recognize a $250,000 gift in the same way as a $25 gift with a thank you letter.

Donor walls are an impressive way to recognize major donors in a permanent and public way at your site.

It’s appropriate to recognize major donors with unique and high quality donor gifts to recognize their dedication to your cause. This gift will be proudly displayed as a visible and ongoing reminder of the difference they are making in the lives of others. 

TIP: Remember to choose a unique custom donor gift item that cannot be purchased anywhere else and reflects well on your organization.
