When it comes to fundraisers, there are so many components to a successful event: marketing materials, invitations, location, scheduling, etc. While it may seem like your branded merchandise can take a backseat to the other planning preparations, it’s one of the most important contributors to a successful fundraiser.

Thankfully, it’s easy to stay on top of your branded fundraising giveaways, and here are the top picks.

1. T-shirts

T-shirts will always be a win in the world of fundraising. Prospective and long-time donors love being able to show their support for a cause when they hit the streets, and it’s a great way for your nonprofit to get its message to a wider audience.

2. Tote Bags

Tote bags are a solid choice in the fundraising arena because of the repeat potential. Whether they’re heading to the grocery store or the gym, donors will be happy to have your branded tote bag on hand.

3. Water Bottles

Donors love a promotional product that is functional, and a reusable water bottle keeps users hydrated and ready for anything.

4. Gift Baskets

Perfect for silent auctions or as a gift for a top-tier donor, gift baskets are the perfect way to show your donors that you care.

5. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are an inexpensive way to provide your fundraiser attendees with a keepsake they can wear every day.

6. Calendars

To keep your nonprofit top-of-mind, gift fundraiser attendees with a branded calendar full of your nonprofit’s messaging and images. Donors will be reminded of your nonprofit’s goals every day of the year.
