Donation Requests and Fundraising Partnerships

Thank you for the work you do for your school, PTO, sports team, shelter, or nonprofit. We receive hundreds of donation requests, sponsorship requests, and raffle basket asks every month from organizations across the country, and we read every one. While our annual donation budget is currently maxed out, we built this page to give your group a faster, bigger way to fund your mission: your own free Ship to Home fundraiser store.

Raffle, Tricky Tray, and Basket Auction Donations

Planning a tricky tray, basket raffle, Chinese auction, or silent auction? We love supporting these events, and we know how much work goes into building the perfect themed basket. Instead of one donated blanket that raises a single bid, ask us about pairing your event with a free Ship to Home fundraiser store. Feature a custom Fundraiser Blankets® blanket with your school logo or mascot in your raffle basket as a showcase piece, then add a QR code to the basket and event program so every guest can order their own and have it shipped straight to their home. One basket wins one bidder, but a Ship to Home store lets every family in the room (and everyone they share the link with) support your cause long after the event ends.

Why Most Groups Get More from a Fundraiser Than a Donation

A one-time donation helps once. A custom blanket fundraiser can raise thousands. Our $10.50 custom Fundraiser Blankets® are the heart of our business, and PTOs, booster clubs, nonprofits, animal shelters, and sports teams nationwide use them to raise serious revenue, gift sponsors, and reward volunteers. No upfront cost. No inventory risk. Free samples and mockups before you commit.

Think about what a typical donation request actually brings in. A single donated blanket in a raffle basket or silent auction might raise $25 to $75 on the night of your event. A sponsorship check covers one line item and then it is gone. A fundraiser built around a product your community already wants keeps raising money for as long as your campaign runs, and every family, grandparent, alumni member, and neighbor becomes a potential supporter.

LAUNCH FREE STORE

Our Ship to Home program is the easiest fundraiser your committee will ever run. We create a custom online store for your group featuring a blanket designed with your school logo, mascot, team colors, or mission. You share one link. Supporters order online, and each blanket ships directly to the buyer's home. Your group earns profit on every order.

That means no paper order forms, no cash envelopes in backpacks, no counting money at the kitchen table, no sorting boxes in the school gym, and no pickup day. Your volunteers share the link, and Fundraiser Blankets® handles printing, packing, shipping, and customer service.

How Ship to Home Works in 4 Simple Steps

  1. Tell us about your group. Complete the form below and mention you are interested in a Ship to Home store.
  2. Get your free custom design. Our design team creates a mockup using your logo, mascot, colors, or event theme at no cost.
  3. Launch and share your store. We set up your online store. Share the link by email, text, social media, school newsletters, and QR codes on flyers.
  4. Supporters order and you earn. Every blanket ships straight to the buyer, and your organization collects profit from each sale.

  • Works for any size group: from a single classroom to an entire school district or league

Who We Support with Donations, Sponsorships, and Fundraisers

Fundraiser Blankets® was founded by a PTO mom and US Army disabled veteran, and we started by selling blankets at a high school football game. Supporting schools and community groups is who we are. We regularly work with:

  • K-12 schools: elementary, middle, and high schools, public and private
  • Parent groups: PTOs, PTAs, PTSOs, parent clubs, and room parent committees
  • Youth and school sports: booster clubs, travel teams, rec leagues, cheer, dance, and band programs
  • School clubs and committees: senior class, post-prom, graduation committees, yearbook, DECA, FFA, and JROTC programs
  • Nonprofits: animal shelters and rescues, homeless shelters, food pantries, and community foundations
  • Veteran and military organizations: veteran service organizations, military family groups, and unit family readiness groups
  • Faith-based groups: churches, youth ministries, and mission trip teams

If you are searching for companies that donate to schools, businesses that sponsor youth sports teams, or donation ideas for a raffle, silent auction, gala, golf outing, carnival, or fun run, you are in the right place. Whether you need a single donation or a long-term fundraising partner, our team will help you find the best fit.

Submit a Donation or Sponsorship Request

To be notified when our next donation cycle opens, complete the form below. We prioritize school PTOs, animal shelters, homeless shelters, and veteran organizations. We already donate thousands of overprint variety blankets to local shelters every year and reopen requests on a rolling basis.

Interested in a Ship to Home store instead? Select that option in the form and our team will reach out with a free mockup, usually within one to two business days.

Other Ways We Give Back

Beyond formal donation cycles, we partner with organizations through sponsorship trades, custom blanket donations tied to events, UGC content, and more for qualifying groups. If you have an event that aligns with our mission of supporting schools, youth sports programs, animals, veterans, and families in need, mention it in the form and we'll review.

Every year, Fundraiser Blankets® donates thousands of overprint blankets to shelters and community organizations, so that no blanket goes to waste and more people stay warm. Many of our donation partners later launch their own fundraisers with us, turning a one-time gift into a recurring source of funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fundraiser Blankets® accept donation requests?

Yes. We accept donation requests on a rolling basis and prioritize school PTOs, animal shelters, homeless shelters, and veteran organizations. Complete the form above to be notified when our next cycle opens.

Do you sponsor school events and youth sports teams?

We consider sponsorships and sponsorship trades for events that align with our mission. Share your event details, audience size, and sponsorship levels in the form.

Can you donate a blanket for our raffle basket or silent auction?

Raffle and auction donations are reviewed during each donation cycle. Many groups find that a Ship to Home store raises far more than a single auction item, and it can run alongside your event.

What is a Ship to Home fundraiser?

A Ship to Home fundraiser is a custom online store for your organization. Supporters order a blanket designed for your group, it ships directly to their home, and your group earns profit on every sale.

Does it cost anything to start a Ship to Home store?

No. There is no upfront cost, no inventory to buy, and no money down. Your custom design and mockup are free.

How much can our group raise?

Results depend on how widely your link is shared, but because supporters can order from anywhere in the country, Ship to Home stores often reach far beyond your school or team. Ask our team for an estimate based on your group size.

Do you work with groups outside Michigan?

Yes. Fundraiser Blankets® serves schools, teams, and nonprofits in every US state and Canada.

Thank you for supporting our women, veteran, and teacher owned small business. Whether through a fundraiser or a future donation, we're grateful you reached out.
