100 Online School Spirit Fundraisers to Keep the PTO Funds Rolling

With many schools going virtual in some capacity this year, it’s only fitting that fundraisers should follow suit. A great way for students, parents and other supporters to show their school spirit is with spirit wear. For many school districts, extracurricular activities are not canceled, just modified. It would be great to have your supporters showing their school spirit with one of these fundraising ideas.

There are many online services that will customize your school’s mascot or logo on the below items. We are not affiliated with any site, and we get no kickbacks for recommending any of them. We’re just here to help nonprofits reach their missions, even in tough times like these!

When selecting an online store for your school spirit fundraiser, know that there will always be an associated fee. Most services are relatively similar when it comes to fees, so it’s best to choose one that is flexible and checks all your boxes. We prefer a service that doesn’t require an app, so that anyone can purchase at any time. And of course, if your PTO uses MoneyMinder for bookkeeping, we recommend adding a Store so that transactions can be automatically synced.

When it comes to choosing a mix of logoed school spirit items to sell for your fundraiser, select a combination of what feels right and what has sold historically. If you’ve always had good luck selling t-shirts, stick to that. But maybe try something a little different this year to diversify the spirit items that are out on the street. This can also help encourage someone who already has your legacy spirit wear to buy something new. 2020 feels like a good year to sell masks and hand sanitizer, for example. Don’t you think?

Take a look at this extensive list of merchandise you could sell in your online fundraiser. If you don’t already have a preferred store, we suggest simply doing a web search for “custom” or “personalized” followed by the item you’re seeking.
