MERCH VS. DONATIONS

Use Merchandise Alongside Donation-Based Fundraising

Merchandise does not have to replace a traditional digital fundraiser. It can give supporters another reason to participate, especially people who prefer buying something connected to the team rather than making a stand-alone contribution.

Donation fundraiser

Best when supporters simply want to contribute directly to the program.

Merchandise fundraiser

Best when school spirit, fan identity, alumni participation, and branded products can help drive engagement.

Combined campaign

Useful when you want to give supporters both ways to participate within the broader fundraising experience.
