T-Shirt Fundraising
Launch a CausePage. 40% of every purchase supports your cause.
What is T-Shirt Fundraising?
T-Shirt Fundraising combines custom apparel and built-in crowdfunding into one streamlined platform.
Instead of collecting money first and placing shirt orders later, supporters purchase custom apparel that supports your cause or donate directly through your CAUSETEAM CausePage.
A CausePage acts as your campaign hub. It allows you to:
• Share your story
• Offer curated custom apparel
• Accept direct donations
• Track fundraising progress
• Create urgency with a 30, 60, or 90-day timeline
All apparel is printed and shipped on demand, and 40% of every purchase supports your cause.
No inventory. No order sorting.
Who T-Shirt Fundraising Is For?
T-Shirt Fundraising is designed for good causes that need structured fundraising with built-in support and urgency.
This model works especially well for:
• Medical fundraising for families facing a diagnosis
• Community rallies around individuals in need
• Nonprofit organizations raising awareness and funds
• School groups and booster clubs with defined fundraising goals
• Mission trips and faith-based initiatives
• Adoption journeys and family campaigns
If your goal is to rally support, tell a story, and raise funds through custom apparel and direct donations, this is your lane.

Q: What is the normal timeline of a CausePage?
A: We generally recommend timelines of 30,60 or 90 days.
The timeline of a CausePage, your personal fundraising page, should provide supporters plenty of time to get involved - but not too much time. You still need to create a sense of urgency for supporters to act. We generally recommend timelines of 30, 60, or 90 days. Keep in mind that you can always extended or restart your t-shirt fundraiser, if necessary.
Q: How do supporters get their orders?
A: Orders are shipped on demand, as they are ordered.
This gets your great custom design and high-quality, super-comfortable merch out in the world for people to wear (and see!) right away. Your early supporters end up being your biggest promoters and help create some buzz for others to also ‘want that shirt’, which of course, creates even more support for your t-shirt fundraiser.
Q: How do we get the money that is raised?
A: You don't have to request funds.
Payments are automatically sent on the 15th of every month, by check, to the beneficiary for the prior month's net donations.
Q: How can I thank supporters?
A: As the CausePage Leader, you have access to the full supporter list.
As appropriate, you should thank supporters publicly (Facebook shout outs!) and privately as you'd like. You can access the supporter list in your dashboard and export the information needed.
