Two ways in

How gifting works at Print Your Cause

Print Your Cause handles gifting two ways. A gift store is a branded store a real person builds in about one business day: you share a private link or code, each recipient picks their product, size, and color, and it ships to them. A bulk order is one higher-quantity run, delivered together for your event.

Printed on demand

The gift store

You fund it; they choose. Each recipient opens your branded store from a private link or code, picks their own product, size, and color, and checks out free. Every gift prints on demand and ships to that person — nothing to warehouse, nothing left over.

The bulk order

Everyone in the same shirt, on the same day. For 5Ks, galas, volunteer days, and reunions we print one run and deliver it together, ahead of your date. Quoted per order — quantity, garment, and print are what move the price.

What do you give donors as a thank-you?

The best donor thank-you keeps the mission visible: a tote or tee that carries your cause, chosen by the donor, shipped to their door. Gift stores are Print Your Cause’s most popular program — and clients with gift programs get about twice the engagement of those without.

You fund the gift; the person who just gave never pays a thing. Set your moment — a milestone donation, a recurring-donor thank-you, a volunteer season wrapped — and send each person a private link. They pick what they love, and your cause goes wherever they do.

~2× The engagement — clients with gift programs vs. without
“It has fundamentally changed how we engage with our supporters — a unique way of showing gratitude to our recurring donors. This level of customization, from choosing products to selecting colors and sizes, enhances the connection our donors feel toward our mission.” Mackenzie Giancarlo · Roswell Park Alliance Foundation

How do you send gifts to a remote team?

With a Print Your Cause gift store there is no address spreadsheet: each employee opens your branded store, picks their own size and style, and the gift is printed on demand and shipped directly to them — whether your team shares one office or fifty zip codes.

Welcome new hires, mark work anniversaries, thank clients and partners. Set a per-person budget and let each person choose within it, or keep the store open for anytime ordering. No collecting sizes, no closet of leftover boxes — and the gear gets worn, because they picked it.

How do bulk t-shirt orders for events work?

For 5Ks, galas, volunteer days, and reunions, Print Your Cause prints bulk orders in one run and delivers them together ahead of your date. Every order is quoted individually — quantity, garment, and print are what move the price — so you pay for exactly what your event needs.

Tell us your date and your headcount and we’ll take it from there. Bulk ordering is built for exactly this: one design, lots of shirts, one delivery. And if your group is small or sizes are a mystery, a no-minimum store may fit your event better — we’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

Share your event date early — we work backwards from it

Good to know

Gift & bulk order questions, answered

What is a gift store, and how does it work?

A gift store is a private branded store your organization funds. You send each recipient a link or code by email or text; they open the store, pick their own product, size, and color, and check out free. Print Your Cause prints each item on demand and ships it straight to them.

Is there a minimum order for gifts or bulk shirts?

No. Gift stores have no minimums and no inventory — one thank-you gift works the same way as a thousand, because every item is printed on demand as it is claimed. Bulk orders are quoted per order, so you order exactly the quantity your event needs.

How much should we spend on employee or donor gifts?

There is no magic number — a gift that fits the person beats an expensive one that never leaves the drawer. With a Print Your Cause gift store you set the budget per person, each recipient chooses within it, and nothing is spent on gifts that never get claimed.

Should a nonprofit spend donation money on donor gifts?

Handled thoughtfully, a modest thank-you is stewardship, not overhead — it keeps your mission visible and your donors feeling seen. And because a gift store carries no upfront inventory, no program funds sit in boxes: you pay only for the gifts that get claimed, and supporters can also buy their own gear anytime.

How much do bulk custom t-shirts cost for an event?

Bulk pricing depends on quantity, garment choice, and print complexity, and per-shirt cost generally comes down as quantity goes up. Print Your Cause quotes each bulk order individually, so you only pay for what your event needs — and if your group is smaller, a no-minimum store may fit better than a bulk run.

How far in advance should we order shirts for an event?

Earlier is always safer. A gift store can be live in about one business day, and items ship as people order. For a bulk run, reach out as soon as you have your event date — we will work backwards from it so production and delivery comfortably beat the day.

What does it cost to start a gift store?

Gift stores are free to start: no setup fees, no minimums, and no inventory to buy. You fund the gifts you give — to donors, employees, volunteers, or members — and anyone else can shop your store on their own. Bulk event orders are quoted separately based on quantity and garments.
