Facts & Questions

Welcome to our Facts & Questions section! We understand that the fundraising and custom printing process may seem overwhelming so we’ve made sure to build our process from the ground up to be easy for anyone. This FAQ is here to help you find the information you need quickly. If you can't find what you're looking for, simply shoot us an email at Joanna@fundraiserblankets.com and we'll be happy to help.

What is the minimum order amount?

CLASSIC COMFORT: This depends on which option you choose, we have both 2 week rush local or import. The minimum order for our local print is 75 blankets per design so that we can offer your group this low pricing. Our minimum for import is 100 blankets per design. You can mix sizes within both options and minimums. They will sell fast! If you are not sure how many to order, you can start with pre-sales and order extras to have on hand for events or order a specific amount and sell on hand. Please note, most schools and sports teams reorder immediately. If you absolutely cannot meet our fundraising blanket minimum, email us to hear about lower quantity options for a slightly higher cost.

PREMIUM PLUSH: The minimum order quantity for our premium blankets is 50 blankets per design so that we can offer your group this low pricing. They will sell fast! If you are not sure how many to order, you can start with pre-sales and order extras to have on hand for events or order a specific amount and sell on hand. Please note, most schools and sports teams reorder immediately.

Do we have to be a school to order?

No. We love helping preschools, K-12 elementary, junior/middle and high schools but gladly also provide blankets for sports teams including football, baseball, cheer, lacrosse, hockey, gymnastics, dance, stadium, boosters, bands, troops, clubs, churches, shelters, and other organizations. We also help non-profits and small businesses with custom blankets at wholesale pricing.

How much are the blankets?

What is the quality of the blanket?

CLASSIC COMFORT: Our fundraising blankets are 300GSM 100%polyester soft minky plush.

We have generic samples to send you so you can feel the difference, just complete the form on this page.

PREMIUM PLUSH: Our premium blankets are 520GSM 100% polyester soft minky plush with knit binding all around. This is an ultra-soft, extra thick plush, double sided AND double layered blanket that we’ve tested and sold, sorest assured that our quality is guaranteed. This is easily a decade long blanket and is extremely warm for stadiums and outdoor sporting events. It weighs almost 4 pounds!

Do we need artwork?

No. You can provide what you have and we can work with it if the resolution is high enough. Otherwise, we will work with you on a vision and design. Please note, we do not do any logo approvals and will assume that all artwork emailed to us allows us printing permission on the school fundraising blankets.

Are these blankets refundable?

Due to the custom work investment, once the design is approved and sent to print, no refunds are given. Fundraiser Blankets® are a way for our company to give back to the community by offering a high profit opportunity for your organization, not ours. Therefore, once ordered, the sale is final.

What amount do we sell the blankets for?

CLASSIC COMFORT: That is completely up to your organization! Selling the wholesale $10.50 blankets at $25 to $35 MSRP is the most popular option. However, if you feel you would like to charge less or more to reach your goals, that would work too. We recommend setting your fundraising goal amount and using the charts below to determine the price you will charge.

PREMIUM PLUSH: That is completely up to your organization! Selling the wholesale $30 blankets at $60 to $70 MSRP is the most popular option. However, if you feel you would like to charge less or more to reach your goals, that will work too.

‍

Are there any extra fees?

No, we do not charge for shipping, packaging, design, or anything else! The price is all inclusive. Why? Because this is a way for us to help communities.

How and where do we sell our blankets?

Each organization is different! You can set up a table at a sports game, sell with an order form within your school and/or district, set up at a local event, sell from the school office, etc. The possibilities are endless!

We've never sold blankets, what can we expect?

You can expect great feedback and a more valuable memorable fundraising item compared to popcorn, pizza, cookie dough, overpriced trinkets, etc. You'll find that our process from start to finish is simple, quick and convenient because there are no costs until your custom blankets get delivered to you.

We have a hard time getting volunteers, any suggestions?

Yes! We created this tip guide for getting more volunteers here.

Can we do pre-orders before ordering blankets?

Of course. Historically, it seems schools and sports teams like to sell in two ways. They like to either send pre-order forms home and then place their order, or, they order an estimated bulk amount and sell them in person at school or at an event. Both ways are welcome!

Can we buy the blankets in bulk for gifts?

Yes! Whether you fundraise with them or want them in bulk, they are the same wholesale price and no payment is needed until the blankets arrive to you! They are a very unique and memorable teacher appreciation idea, senior graduation gift, custom spirit store items, team presents, etc.

Do you help us sell our blankets?

We offer you a variety of free tools! We create a digital blanket mock up of your blanket for you to use so that you can share and/or pre-sell right away. We also provide digitally customized social media images, pre-order forms, display flyers, social media video, and more. They will be customized but are also in files that are editable by you for your convenience! We want you to succeed. We now also offer a free custom webpage upon request, See example here, with an optional pay link. Let us know how we can help you have a successful fundraiser!

What if our organization cannot afford blankets?

We understand that not every organization has the same resources upfront to start their fundraisers. While we’ve priced our blankets as low as we can to keep the program going, we’ve seen great success when groups reach out to local businesses, alumni, or community sponsors for support. We're happy to offer guidance or ideas on how to get started with fundraising or sponsorship outreach!

How can we share this?

You can send interested organizations to our website, fundraiserblankets.com or share the product catalog here.
