FUNdraising Ideas

My favorite fundraising promo item is a t-shirt. But not just any t-shirt ... an intentionally limited-edition-created t-shirt with a powerful message. It's a walking billboard of support that continues to inspire by creating an unlimited number of impressions for your cause. Bonus that it's a great piece of apparel for supporters to enjoy!  There are lots of great t-shirt options that I love, but for this week's pick, I intentionally chose the Bella + Canvas 3001CVC t-shirt we used for the PromoCares Ukraine4Good fundraiser. It was way more than a t-shirt. It was a symbol of unlimited support and belonging.

Promo industry suppliers S&S Activewear, Vantage Apparel, Alphabroder & ChameleonLike/Packed joined forces with PromoCares in a monumental example of compassionate collaboration over competition to bring to life the Limited Edition "Our Hearts are with Ukraine" t-shirt. People donated money for the cause & received the limited edition commemorative Ukraine4Good t-shirt in return. Thanks to the generosity of our supplier partners, 100% of funds were donated to Save the Children International which immediately supported children in need in Ukraine as the war started to unfold.

Whatever item you choose to support your fundraising efforts, I suggest making it a limited edition item of quality that's beneficial to the donors who will be using it. Harness the #PowerOfPromo!

My favorite item when a group is looking to use a promotional product as a fundraiser is for sure a blanket or towel.  As you can see in the picture, these provide a large imprint area and plenty of room to add secondary sponsor logos that a group can raise funds for in addition to selling the product.  Whether you choose a towel or blanket, it doubles as a very useful product that supporters will happily pay for.
