How we started

How did Print Your Cause start?

Founder Jayson Tompkins volunteered at the Charleston Animal Society. At a fundraising event, he saw a problem common to nonprofits — excess inventory and minimal profit despite a ton of effort. So he rallied former software colleagues Adam Hickey and Jon Bell, and together they built Print Your Cause.

A platform built to take the risk and the waste out of fundraising.

We started with nonprofits, then grew to corporate stores, schools, teams, and gifting — bringing the same promise to all of them: quality branded gear, made on demand, with no excess inventory and no hassle.

Leadership

Who leads Print Your Cause today?

Print Your Cause is led by CEO Dave Higashi, who joined from Crowdmade. He carries forward the promise the founders started with in Charleston: a real person builds every store, community comes before any sale, and nobody is left holding a box of unsold shirts.

Our values

What we believe.

01

Community first

Belonging comes before fundraising. The point of a team hoodie or a spirit shirt is the feeling of being one group — and if it raises money along the way, that part is yours to decide.

02

Work with people, not bots

A real person designs your store, builds it, and answers your questions — from the first logo file to the final delivery.

03

Great print, for every group

The same print methods we run for 2,500+ organizations are open to the smallest booster club — no minimums, and no inventory to buy.
