Custom Fundraiser T-Shirts: Create Your Own

When creating a shirt fundraiser or selling custom apparel for a fundraising campaign, it’s important to use legally free images that won’t result in copyright issues. Here are some types of images you can use for free on a shirt design:

• Public Domain Images: Works that are free of copyright and available for unrestricted use, often found on sites like Unsplash, Pixabay, and Wikimedia Commons.
• Creative Commons Zero (CC0) Images: Fully free-to-use images without attribution, available from sources like Pexels and Openverse.
• Original Artwork & Custom Design: Creating your own design work ensures you own the rights and can legally sell the shirt.
• Licensed Free Fonts & Icons: Many sites like Google Fonts and Font Squirrel offer commercial-use fonts that are safe for fundraising websites and team store designs.
• AI-Generated or Custom Graphics: If the platform you use allows it, AI-generated designs can be a way to create unique shirt fundraiser graphics.
• Non-Copyrighted Quotes or Slogans: Simple text-based designs that do not reference copyrighted phrases, sports teams, or brands.

To ensure compliance, always check the image’s licensing before uploading it to a fundraising platform or print-on-demand store, especially if you plan to collect donations or raise money through online fundraising.

The best website for designing and selling shirts is Fourthwall, an easy-to-use print-on-demand platform that allows creators, nonprofits, and businesses to launch their own custom apparel store without handling inventory. 

Whether you're running a shirt fundraiser to raise funds for a campaign or selling apparel for a brand, Fourthwall provides a seamless experience with print-on-demand production and built-in shipping. 

Just upload your shirt design, set your prices, and start selling directly to supporters, donors, and buyers while Fourthwall takes care of fulfillment. 

With no upfront fees and the ability to collect monetary donations alongside merchandise sales, Fourthwall makes it easy to maximize profits and grow your online store.

For any product from our product catalog, quality is guaranteed. Our team  manages all customer support on your behalf for these orders.

If there is a print error or visible quality issue with the order your supporter received, we’ll replace or refund it!

Because products are made to order, however, we do not accept general or sizing-related returns.

If you need help finding an artist or designer, check out our design community.

This is a vetted network of exceptional designers that can help you make great quality designs for your audience.

There are no monthly fees, no upfront costs, and no contracts to use Fourthwall. You set your prices and choose your own margins. Here is how our pricing and splits work when you sell:

• Products from our product catalog. The cost of a product from the product catalog (which you can monitor during the design process) gets deducted from the selling price you set. There are no extra percentages/margins. You keep the entire difference.
• Products you self-source. No fees

Additionally, all US-based credit card transactions have an added 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee (same as Shopify). Fees vary for PayPal and other providers. Learn more.

There are no requirements to join Fourthwall! Anyone can start for free, though the experience is optimized for people who have communities.

Our custom t-shirt prices start at $9.25. The price of your custom t-shirt depends on the shirt fulfillment technique, design and logo placement, and branding options. On platforms like Fourthwall, you can choose from many custom apparel, sweatshirt, and hoodie options, including:
