Is your organization looking for more fun and creative ways to raise money? We have programs and solutions that will make your next fundraiser a success!
Any organization (churches, schools, sports teams, fraternities/sororities, reunion groups, clubs, etc) can implement a successful fundraiser using promotional items. In fact, it’s something that many groups do at least once a year to raise money for scholarships, causes, sports teams, class trips and more. Fund raisers can be fun, easy, and profitable for all involved.
The biggest benefit is that there's no need to make an investment of money until you know that you've reached your goals. There's literally no risk involved based on the model you choose to implement.
Take a few minutes to review our fundraising video presentation for a quick overview of our programs with options, profit estimates, and items that can be used for your next fund raising project.

Contact Us for Help with the Following:
- Select the Design For Your Fundraising Item(s)
- Tip: Gather your fundraising team and determine the audience for your fundraiser. Set goals, organize volunteers to help, and set a timeline. It's best to let your fundraiser run long enough to give your audience ample time to learn about the fundraiser as well as time to make a purchase. Consider accepting credit cards and online purchases to make it convenient to order.
- Popular designs include your logo, team mascot, building, your slogan, holiday message, add your school, business or organization name, landmark, photo of an important event, team name and/or year. Some organizations have contests to obtain ideas, and get members involved.
- Tip: Choose the imprint design with your audience in mind. Don't choose a design based solely on the preferences of the fundraising team without thinking of whether it will be something your audience will want to purchase.
- If you don’t know where to start on your design, contact us for ideas. We provide free artwork assistance and clip art options for your design. Templates are also available for some items that can be used to make designing easy.
- After your artwork is received, we’ll make a proof of your custom imprint and fax or email it as an attachment for your approval.

- Choose Items to Sell for Your Fund Raiser
- Pick an item from our online selection, our catalog, or contact us if you're looking for an item that you don't see in our selection. Send what you're looking for and we will find an item that meets your needs.
- Tip: The same rules hold true for choosing your items. Make sure to keep your audience in mind when selecting items. The same design on different items can make your fundraiser appeal to audiences of varying ages.
- With your team, decide on a selling price that will also meet the needs of your audience. Too much on either side will result in unsatisfactory results for your fundraiser. If you're not sure about how much to sell your items for, make sure to review our fundraising video for profit estimates and ideas.
- In addition to our online selection here are a couple of other areas to look. Look through our windjammer online catalog that is packed with industry specials. We also have the best buys catalog and our custom apparel catalog that has great pricing as well on items from A-Z.
- Promote Your Fundraiser
- We have many resources available to promote your fundraiser, including our fundraising guide, flyers, order forms, banners, yard signs, and samples that can be displayed on order taking days. Contact us for help with these items.
- If you choose to pre-sell orders, you can start by using the proof we provide to show customers what the imprint will look like. You can also request samples for display on order taking days. When your order is delivered, you may have already sold them all!
- Review our fundraising video for successful fundraising ideas that may be a good fit for your organization.
- Place Your Order
- Once your order information and artwork are received, we will fulfill your order, including any reorders. You have several options for taking and submitting your orders.
- Your organization can submit your order before orders are taken. This option is good for retail establishments or organizations that have a physical location in which to sell items. OR
- You can “pre-sell” items, collecting orders and money ahead of time if your timeline allows.
- Pre-selling provides the ability to "test drive" the fundraiser to see how well items will sell. If you have an audience that is already established, placing your order before they are sold can be profitable as well. Take a look at our fundraising presentation for complete details or contact us for help.
- All our products list production times for imprinting the order, located on the product details page on our web site or in the details listed in our catalogs. These production times do not include time for delivery.
- Important Note: After Halloween, business picks up for the holidays. Standard lead times are between 7-10 business days after customer approval of artwork. Please check with us when you decide to run your fundraiser and we can give you information on lead times.
- Reorders are easy and ship in one to two weeks, depending on time of the year – it is a good idea to check with us on the current re-order lead time as well. The holidays are very busy so lead times may be a little longer. Since we would have all your order and artwork information, reordering will be easier.
