Most schools wondering how to fundraise for schools end up with the same options: sell candy bars, run car washes, host pancake breakfasts. These work — but they require hours of student and parent labor for modest returns.
Wondering how do schools raise money without exhausting volunteer hours? The Print Plug’s sponsorship program is a different model entirely. We do the work of finding local sponsors, designing the apparel, and managing production. Your school receives free merchandise for schools — and may even receive financial rebates when sponsorship funding exceeds production costs.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how to raise money for public schools, how to raise money for marching band programs, or how do booster clubs raise money without burning out volunteers — sponsor-funded apparel is one of the easiest, most sustainable approaches available.

Support Local Schools With Effective Advertising
Our sponsor-supported program wouldn’t be possible without the generous contributions of local businesses who step up to support schools like yours. In exchange for helping fund your custom apparel, they get their logo featured on the back of each shirt, banner, or poster — creating a lasting presence in the community they serve.
It’s a true win-win:

That depends on your school’s needs and sponsor interest. We can create unique posters for each sports season or event cycle — as long as there’s sufficient demand and community participation.
Our standard package typically includes 100-200 t-shirts and 250–300 full-color posters (20” x 26”). We also offer banners, pocket schedules and 8.5” x 11” mini posters depending on the project scope and school preferences.
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of ad sizes and pricing — from around $200 for smaller placements to $700+ for premium banner spots. Whether it’s a small local shop or a larger company, there’s an option that fits.
Our experienced outreach team contacts businesses within your community to invite them to sponsor your project. Many of our team members have worked with the same schools and regions for years and always use a professional, low-pressure approach.
We recommend allowing 3-6 months from the time your finalized schedule is submitted. This gives us enough time to build your proof, make revisions, and print and ship your order on time.
No. There are zero costs to your school — production, shipping, design, and sponsor management are all included in our program. The only requirement is that we successfully fill the sponsorship slots for your project. Even then, we offer a 100% guarantee — if we accept your application, your merchandise is guaranteed regardless of whether all sponsor slots fill.
Yes. Every business that supports your project will receive their own copy of the poster from us directly — you don’t need to handle any sponsor distribution. We do ask schools to help share the posters within the school and local community.
To secure your spot in our seasonal production schedule, we’ll need a signed authorization form as soon as possible. We work with a limited number of schools each year to maintain quality and service — once you’re confirmed, we’ll get to work right away.
Note: We never begin a project unless the school has officially invited us to do so.

Schools in our sponsorship program receive custom spirit shirts (typically 100-200), posters (250-300 full-color), banners, and pocket schedules. Designs are tailored to your school colors, mascot, and branding. Whether you need youth basketball uniforms for the season, custom cheer apparel for varsity cheerleading, or spirit gear for a homecoming week, our team designs and produces every piece from start to finish.
In many cases, yes. Our sponsorship program is most commonly used for sports apparel — including youth football jerseys, varsity cheer uniforms, basketball team gear, and event-specific spirit wear. The total sponsorship funding depends on local business participation in your community. We’ll discuss your specific needs during the application process.
Booster clubs, PTAs, and parent groups are some of our most active partners. Many schools use our program for booster club fundraising — letting parents and supporters drive sponsor connections, then using the financial rebates we send back to fund team trips, equipment, or scholarships. We work directly with athletic directors, booster presidents, and parent volunteer leaders.
Yes. We partner with schools of every type across the United States — public schools, private schools, charter schools, magnet schools, religious schools, and homeschool co-ops. The program is open to any school organizing a sponsorship campaign for athletics, music, theater, clubs, or fundraising initiatives.
Most school fundraising requires students and parents to sell products, ask for donations, or coordinate events that drain volunteer hours. Our sponsorship program flips that model — we handle the outreach to local businesses, design and print the apparel, and ship everything to your school. Your students wear free, high-quality custom merchandise, and your school can even receive financial rebates when sponsorships exceed production costs.
Yes. While school sports teams are the most common users of our program, we work with marching bands, music programs, theater departments, debate teams, robotics clubs, and academic organizations. If your group needs custom apparel and is looking for a way to fund it without straining parent volunteers or your program budget, our sponsorship program likely fits.
Get free shirts for your school — no budget, no strings attached.
