What to print first & why
Match the print to the mission moment. Running an event — gala, 5K, coat drive? A vinyl banner names the moment and yard signs route people to it. Fundraising? Donation-appeal postcards still outperform email for response because mail gets opened by hand, and EDDM neighborhood mailers invite entire communities for less than a dollar a door. Building awareness? Flyers for community boards, business cards for staff and board members who represent you everywhere, and die-cut stickers your supporters will actually display. And volunteer tees do triple duty: uniform on event day, thank-you gift, and walking proof your organization shows up.

How it works
Upload your artwork — whether it came from a design firm or a volunteer with Canva — and our free pro file check catches resolution and layout problems before they cost you anything. You get a free digital proof before printing, and nothing is charged until you approve it, which matters when a board member needs to sign off or an event date shifts late. Approve it, and we print and ship anywhere in the US with shipping already included, protected by a reprint guarantee. Predictable costs, documented approvals, no surprises in the expense report. Your treasurer will like us almost as much as your volunteers do.
Frequently asked questions
How much does nonprofit event printing cost?
A typical event kit — one 3x6 vinyl banner ($75), five yard signs ($109), and 250 flyers ($129) — totals $313 with shipping included. Every item gets a free pro file check and a free digital proof, and nothing is charged until you approve, so the invoice your board sees matches the quote exactly.
Are printed postcards still effective for fundraising appeals?
Yes — physical mail reliably earns more attention per piece than email because it's held, not scrolled past. At $59/100 or $109/500 for 4x6 postcards (about 22 cents each at volume, shipping included), even a small response from past donors typically covers the print cost many times over. Pair with a clear ask and a giving URL or QR code.
What's the cheapest way to reach our whole community?
EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail): starting at $398 per postal route, covering roughly 400–800 homes with print and mailing both included — under a dollar per household, no mailing list required. It's the strongest fit for community events, volunteer recruitment, and awareness campaigns where geography defines your audience.
Can we see and approve a proof before we're charged?
Yes — that's the default, not an upgrade. Every order includes a free professional file check and a free digital proof, and you are not charged until the proof is approved. That gives your ED, board, or committee time to sign off before any money moves — and printing errors on our end fall under our reprint guarantee.
How much do volunteer t-shirts cost for a nonprofit event?
Custom tees start at $9.40 each at 144 shirts, shipping included — outfitting a full volunteer corps for under $1,400. They work as event-day uniforms, thank-you gifts, and year-round visibility when volunteers keep wearing them. Smaller quantities or specialty garments get a fast custom quote.
