Hello, sunshine! As classroom doors swing shut for summer break, fundraising windows fling open with dazzling possibilities! While the kiddos are trading textbooks for swimsuits, your nonprofit can dive into a sea of creative fundraising opportunities.
With the right printed materials in your beach bag, your organization can make waves this season—telling your story, amplifying your impact, and connecting with donors in ways that are anything but a summer bummer. When the kiddos aren’t in school, that means they’re on the town—and that’s a great opportunity to delve into parental pocketbooks with a sizzling summer appeal.
Many nonprofit fiscal years end in the summer, making it a great opportunity to raise funds through events and drives– and you need to get the word out. What printed materials will attract hearts, minds, and checkbooks?
At MissionPrint, we're genuinely delighted to help you create what you care about with quality printing solutions that turn up the heat on your summer fundraising efforts. So, grab your sunscreen and let's explore how some strategic printing can help your nonprofit shine brighter than a July afternoon!
Turn sleepy summer neighborhoods into buzzing hubs of awareness with yard signs so vibrant they practically do the fundraising for you!
These sturdy little soldiers stand strong in sunshine or summer showers, cheerfully directing traffic to your events, promoting donation drives, or simply spreading the good word about your cause when visibility is at its summertime peak. Sprinkle them like confetti around community spaces where families gather during school breaks and watch your impact multiply faster than dandelions in July!
Nothing says "event in progress" like a well-designed banner! Whether you're hosting a summer carnival, outdoor concert, or community yard sale, our versatile banner options—including fabric, retractable, and step-and-repeat (backdrop) styles—create an instant visual identity for your fundraiser. Bright, bold banners transform ordinary spaces into exciting event venues while prominently displaying your nonprofit's branding.
Summer is the perfect time to educate your community about your mission. Custom brochures provide the perfect take-home item at farmers markets, community festivals, and summer events. Design them to highlight your impact, showcase summer initiatives, or explain how vacation-time donations help sustain your programs when traditional school-year funding sources might slow down.
Keep your supporters connected with custom postcards that announce summer fundraising events or thank donors for their seasonal support. These versatile printed pieces can serve as invitations, donation acknowledgments, or even summer activity calendars that keep your organization top-of-mind during vacation months. Their convenient size makes them perfect for mailing or as handouts at community events.
Transform that ho-hum folding table into a magnetic masterpiece at summer festivals, farmers markets, and outdoor events with tablecloths so snazzy they practically wink at passersby!
These fabric ambassadors work double-duty—instantly identifying your organization while giving you that polished, "we've totally got this" appearance that naturally draws the curious to learn more about your wonderful cause. They're tougher than a lifeguard's suntan, standing up to the entire summer season of punch spills, cookie crumbs, and multiple pack-ups without losing their charm!
Create an exciting summer scavenger hunt throughout your community with professionally printed clue cards. Participants pay an entry fee and follow the custom-designed cards to various locations.
Partner with local businesses to host clue stations—they get foot traffic, and you get donation opportunities at each stop. The printed cards become keepsakes that remind participants of their support for your cause.
Partner with local libraries or create your own summer reading initiative using custom-printed bookmarks as incentives. These bookmarks can feature reading trackers, information about your nonprofit, or inspiring quotes that align with your mission. They provide daily visibility for your organization while encouraging literacy during school breaks.
Roll out the red carpet (or perhaps a picnic blanket?) and transform your local park into a star-studded open-air cinema with the magic of printed event programs!
These paper multi-taskers do more than list the evening's feature presentation—they moonlight as personal cooling systems when the summer evening gets sticky, showcase your nonprofit's greatest hits, announce your coming attractions, and subtly suggest donation opportunities while viewers wait for the opening credits.
Sprinkle in some custom ticket stubs and concession vouchers, and suddenly your organization is getting more screen time than the leading actor!
Organize a summer food festival where local restaurants offer sample dishes, and attendees purchase a printed passport booklet to track their culinary journey. Each restaurant stamps or signs the custom-designed booklet when participants try their dish. These keepsake booklets can include information about your nonprofit alongside food descriptions and sponsor advertisements.
If your nonprofit offers summer programming for youth, create professional registration packets with folders, forms, and informational materials that make a great first impression on parents. These cohesive, branded materials demonstrate organization and professionalism while providing all the information families need to participate in your summer activities.
Summer events often spread across parks, neighborhoods, or community spaces. Guide participants with durable directional signs that help them navigate to registration tables, activity stations, or donation collection points. These practical printed materials enhance the participant experience while reinforcing your professional organization.
Plant your flag (quite literally!) at outdoor summer festivals, farmers markets, or athletic events with feather flags so eye-catching they practically do a little dance in the summer breeze! These tall, feathery attention-seekers stand head and shoulders—actually, more like torso, neck, AND head—above the crowd, making your booth findable even when it's hidden behind that guy selling giant turkey legs.
While other signs sit quietly hoping to be noticed, these fluttery beacons wave enthusiastically across crowded fields saying "Over here! The awesome nonprofit is THIS way!" in a language everyone understands.
Summer events provide the perfect opportunity to publicly recognize your supporters. Create beautiful donor walls or recognition boards that highlight those who have contributed to your cause. These visible displays not only thank existing donors but inspire new ones who see the community support behind your mission.
Design and distribute printed calendars highlighting your summer fundraising events. These practical items keep your organization front and center in supporters' homes throughout the season while providing valuable information about opportunities to engage with your cause during school break months.
Summer schedules fill up quickly, so design and order your printed materials well in advance. Create a comprehensive printing plan that considers all your summer events, and the materials needed for each. MissionPrint's quick turnaround times can help, but early planning ensures you have everything ready when school lets out.
Embrace seasonal design elements that create a summer feeling in your printed materials. Bright colors, outdoor imagery, and vacation themes can make your brochures, postcards, and signs more appealing during this time of year. Seasonal designs stand out and connect with the community's summer mindset.
Stretch your printing dollars like summer vacation stretches bedtimes by creating materials that do more for your cause. Why settle for something that serves just one purpose when you can have a program booklet that works harder for you? It can share event details, recognize your generous donors, explain your mission, and highlight upcoming opportunities to get involved—all in one thoughtful piece that supporters will hold on to long after the summer ends.
Summer brings sunshine but also unexpected rain and humidity. Choose appropriate materials for outdoor use, like waterproof yard signs, UV-resistant banners, and durable tablecloths that withstand the elements. MissionPrint offers weather-resistant options that ensure your message stays clear and vibrant regardless of summer weather.
When those school bells ring their final "see ya later" for the summer, your nonprofit's mission doesn't pack up and head to the beach—and neither should your communications strategy!
From yard signs that practically wave hello to versatile banners that refuse to be ignored, from brochures sharper than a popsicle stick to postcards that deliver your message with more pizzazz than a fireworks finale, our products combine exceptional quality with prices that won't melt your nonprofit budget faster than an ice cream cone in August.
