No Chasing Order Forms
Supporters enter their own order information instead of sending handwritten forms back through one coordinator.
Online Fundraising Stores for Schools, Teams, Churches + Organizations
Raise money without becoming the order desk.
Palmetto Blended builds a branded online fundraising store for your apparel campaign. Supporters choose their products and sizes, pay online, and we handle the ordering workflow, production and agreed fulfillment plan—so your group can focus on sharing the link and raising funds.
Fundraising structure, product minimums, order window, payout and fulfillment are confirmed before launch. Standard screen printing and embroidery projects typically begin at 24 pieces.
Sell Gear. Raise Funds.
Palmetto Blended
01
One Shareable Store
Your campaign gets a simple online destination.
02
Online Ordering
Supporters choose sizes and pay directly online.
03
Preorder-Friendly
Reduce guessing and unnecessary leftover inventory.
04
Funds Back to Your Group
Payout structure is agreed before the store launches.
Fundraising Without the Clipboard
The fundraiser should raise money—not your blood pressure.
Traditional apparel fundraisers can turn one volunteer into the payment collector, size checker, spreadsheet manager and distribution center. An online store moves those details into a much cleaner process.
No Collecting Payments
Buyers check out online rather than handing cash, checks or payment screenshots to your organization.
Fewer Size Mistakes
Each supporter selects the product and size they want, reducing the need for one person to interpret everyone else's order.
Less Inventory Guessing
A defined preorder window lets demand drive the production order instead of guessing what might sell.
Cleaner Closeout
Store totals, production and fundraising proceeds can be reconciled around one organized campaign.
How a Palmetto Blended Fundraising Store Works
From idea to fundraiser in six clear steps.
We help structure the campaign before it launches so your group knows the products, timing, ordering process, fundraising plan and fulfillment expectations upfront.
Tell Us About the Cause
Share your organization, goal, audience, artwork, target dates and any products you already know you want to offer.
Build the Product Mix
We help curate apparel that fits the audience, budget, decoration method and economics of the fundraiser.
We Build the Store
Your campaign gets a branded online storefront with approved products, sizes, pricing and a clear ordering deadline.
You Share the Link
Promote the store through email, social media, team apps, newsletters, QR codes, text messages and your existing community.
Supporters Order Online
Buyers select their own products and sizes and complete checkout directly through the online store.
We Produce + Close Out
When the campaign closes, we move the approved order into production, coordinate the agreed fulfillment plan and reconcile fundraising proceeds.
Who Are Fundraising Stores For?
If you have a community, you have a potential customer base.
Schools + PTAs
Spirit wear, special events, class trips, awareness campaigns and school-wide apparel fundraisers.
Teams + Booster Clubs
Fan apparel, team merchandise and fundraising gear for school, club and youth sports programs.
Churches + Ministries
Mission trips, youth programs, retreats, conferences, outreach projects and ministry fundraising.
Nonprofits + Charities
Branded apparel campaigns that help supporters represent the cause while contributing to the organization.
Senior Classes + Trips
Homecoming, senior apparel and campaign stores that can help support class travel and special programs.
Clubs + Organizations
Student organizations, bands, arts groups, civic clubs, professional groups and membership organizations.
Events + Memorials
Races, benefit events, community campaigns, memorial projects and cause-driven merchandise.
Families + Community Groups
Organized apparel sales where one shareable store is easier than collecting orders manually.
Built Around the Fundraiser
Your group should know how the money works before launch.
We structure the store around the products, decoration, production costs, fundraising goal and fulfillment plan. Exact proceeds vary by campaign, so the fundraising structure is agreed before the store goes live.
01
Choose the campaign structure.
We'll confirm products, pricing, timing and how fundraising
proceeds are calculated before launch.
02
Use a defined order window.
A clear close date creates urgency for supporters and gives
production a clean starting point.
03
Let supporters buy directly.
Your organization can focus on promotion while the store
captures buyer, product, size and payment information.
04
Produce from actual demand.
A preorder-first approach helps reduce the need to guess
which sizes and products your community might buy.
05
Close out the fundraiser.
After the campaign, Palmetto Blended coordinates production,
the agreed fulfillment process and fundraiser payout.
What Can You Sell?
Keep the store focused on products people actually want.
More choices don't automatically mean more sales. We prefer a curated assortment that is easy to shop, easy to promote and appropriate for the fundraising economics of the campaign.
T-Shirts
The workhorse of most apparel fundraisers—easy to understand, broad in sizing and great for school, team and cause-driven designs.
Hoodies + Crewnecks
Higher-value options that can make the collection feel more complete while giving supporters a colder-weather choice.
Hats + Caps
A strong add-on when the artwork, audience, quantity and decoration method make headwear a good fit for the campaign.
Branded Merchandise
Select promotional products or accessories can be considered when they support the campaign and make sense operationally.
Built to Convert
A better store is only half the fundraiser.
The strongest campaigns combine a clean store with a clear reason to buy, a defined deadline and repeated promotion to the people who already care about your organization.
Keep the Product Mix Tight
A curated collection is easier to understand than a catalog with dozens of competing choices.
Make the Artwork Worth Wearing
People buy fundraiser apparel to support the cause—but good design gives them another reason to say yes.
Give the Store a Deadline
A defined order window creates a natural reason to act now instead of saving the link for later.
Share It More Than Once
Launch day matters, but reminders through email, social, text and group communications are what keep the campaign moving.
Make It Easy to Share
One link your whole community can understand.
Instead of explaining how to order in a long email, send supporters to one branded destination with the products, sizes, pricing and deadline in one place.
Depending on the campaign, Palmetto Blended can also help organize launch messaging and share-ready details such as QR codes, email copy or social language around the store.
Your Job
Rally the community.
Share the store with the parents, students, players, members, congregation, alumni, friends and supporters who already care. We handle the commerce side of the campaign so you can focus on reach.
Fundraising Store or Company Store?
Similar technology. Different job.
Both put approved products online, but the purpose and lifecycle are different. We'll help point you toward the right setup.

Fundraising Store FAQ
Questions before you launch?
Here are some of the most common questions about online apparel fundraising stores.
Start a Fundraising Store →What is an online fundraising store?
An online fundraising store is a branded storefront where supporters can purchase approved apparel or merchandise for a school, team, church, nonprofit or organization. Buyers select their own products and sizes and pay online, while the campaign is structured so agreed fundraising proceeds go back to the organization.
Who can use a Palmetto Blended Fundraising Store?
Fundraising stores can be a good fit for schools, booster clubs, sports teams, churches, ministries, nonprofits, student organizations, senior classes, community groups, memorial campaigns and other organizations with an engaged supporter base.
How does our organization make money from the store?
The fundraising structure is agreed before launch based on the approved products, decoration, pricing and program. Exact proceeds vary by campaign, so we'll explain how the fundraiser will work before the store goes live.
Do we have to collect payments or paper order forms?
No. Supporters order through the online store, select their own products and sizes, and complete checkout online. This is designed to reduce manual payment collection and paper order management for your organization.
Do we have to buy inventory before the fundraiser?
Our fundraising stores are generally structured around a defined ordering window so actual supporter demand can guide production. The exact product minimums, production structure and any commitments will be confirmed with you before launch.
How long should a fundraising store stay open?
A focused campaign with a clear deadline usually works better than an open-ended fundraiser. The right ordering window depends on your audience, event date, promotion plan and production timeline, so we'll help establish the schedule before launch.
What products can we sell in a fundraiser?
T-shirts, hoodies and crewnecks are common core products. Hats and select branded merchandise may also be available depending on the artwork, quantity, decoration method and campaign. We recommend keeping the collection curated rather than overwhelming supporters with too many choices.
Can you help with the fundraiser shirt design?
Yes. Send us your logo, event theme, existing artwork, sketch or concept. If the artwork needs cleanup, conversion or additional design work before production, we'll let you know what is required.
Will we see the artwork before the store launches?
Yes. Artwork and product details are reviewed as part of the setup process before the fundraising store is launched and the campaign is promoted to your supporters.
How are orders distributed after the fundraiser closes?
Fulfillment can vary by program. Depending on the campaign, orders may be coordinated for bulk pickup, organization distribution or another agreed fulfillment method. We'll confirm the plan before the store goes live so your group knows what to expect.
How and when does our organization receive the fundraising proceeds?
The payout method and closeout process are established before launch. Once the campaign is closed and reconciled, Palmetto Blended will process the organization's agreed fundraising proceeds according to that plan.
What is the difference between a Fundraising Store and a Company Store?
A Fundraising Store is usually campaign-based, has a defined order window and is designed to raise funds for an organization. A Company Store is generally an ongoing storefront used for employee uniforms, approved branded apparel, reorders or merchandise across a business or organization.
Ready to Raise More With Less Admin?
Give your supporters one link. Give yourself fewer headaches.
Tell us about your school, team, church, nonprofit or organization, your fundraising goal, audience, artwork and target dates. We'll help determine whether a Palmetto Blended Fundraising Store is the right fit.
