Raise funds with custom products created specifically for your organization and supporters.
TA Laser Engraving works with fire departments, schools, teams, clubs, nonprofits and other organizations to create personalized fundraising products and a program built around your group.
Choose the Fundraising Approach That
Works for Your Organization
Every organization has different resources, volunteers and fundraising needs. Choose a fully managed program or handle the sales yourself and place a larger group order with us.
Fully Managed Fundraising
Want us to handle the operational side? We can create an online fundraising store, process supporter orders, produce and ship products, handle customer service and provide your organization with its fundraising proceeds.
A good fit for organizations that want to fundraise without managing individual orders and fulfillment.
Organization-Managed Fundraising
Prefer to manage the fundraiser yourself? Your organization can collect orders and payments from supporters, then place a consolidated bulk order with TA Laser Engraving. Pricing can reflect the order quantity and the reduced fulfillment and administrative work required from us.
A good fit for organizations that already have volunteers, an established sales process or their own way to distribute products.

Fundraising Built for Your Organization
Our fundraising programs can be tailored to a wide range of organizations, with products and designs created around your group, members and supporters.
Fire Departments & EMS
Create products supporters are proud to purchase while helping raise funds for your department, company or association.
Schools, Teams & Clubs
Offer custom products built around your school, team, club or activity while generating funds for your organization.
Nonprofits & Community Organizations
Create fundraising products that represent your organization, mission or community and give supporters another way to contribute.
Other Groups & Organizations
Have a different type of organization? We can develop a fundraising program around your group, audience and goals.
Custom Products Your Supporters Will Actually Want
Your fundraiser can feature products selected around your organization, audience and goals. Rather than offering generic fundraising merchandise, we create products connected to your group and the people who support it.
Drinkware & Everyday Products
Custom tumblers, water bottles, mugs and other useful products featuring your organization’s branding, artwork or designs.
Hats, Apparel & Branded Merchandise
Leather patch hats and other branded merchandise that supporters can wear and use while representing your organization.
Gifts, Signs & Custom Products
Personalized gifts, signs, ornaments, keepsakes and other custom products developed around your organization, community or fundraiser.
Fully Managed Fundraising Without
the Fulfillment Headache
With the fully managed option, your organization can focus on promoting the fundraiser instead of collecting individual orders, producing products or answering shipping questions.
No Order Forms to Manage
Supporters place their orders through your organization’s online fundraising store rather than submitting individual orders to your volunteers.
No Products to Produce or Ship
TA Laser Engraving handles production and shipping, so your organization does not need to purchase inventory, package orders or coordinate distribution.
Customer Service Is Handled
If a supporter has a question or issue with an order, TA Laser Engraving handles the customer service instead of sending that work back to your organization.
With fully managed fundraising,
you promote your fundraiser.
We handle the products and orders behind it.
$100 Setup Fee
For a fully managed fundraiser, a one-time setup fee covers the initial work involved in creating your organization’s fundraising program and custom online store.
Your Organization Earns Commission
Your organization earns an agreed-upon commission from eligible product sales made through its fundraising store.
Quarterly Payouts
Fundraising proceeds are calculated and paid to your organization quarterly, providing a predictable schedule for receiving the funds you’ve earned.
A Straightforward Managed Fundraising Structure
For organizations choosing the fully managed option, we keep the program simple so you know what to expect before the fundraiser begins.
Every fundraiser is different.
Product selection, pricing and commission details for fully managed fundraising are established with your organization before the program launches. Organization-managed fundraisers are priced separately based on the products, quantities and services needed.
Built Around Your Organization
Your fundraising products should feel connected to your organization and the people who support it. We can build the program around your branding, community and audience rather than offering the same generic products to every group.
Your Branding & Artwork
Incorporate your organization’s name, logo, supplied artwork and other approved design elements into products created for your fundraiser.
Optional Personalization
Where appropriate, supporters can choose available personalization such as names or other individual details when placing their orders.
Products That Fit Your Group
Product selections can be developed around your organization and supporters, helping create a fundraiser that feels relevant to the people you are asking to participate.
The goal is a fundraiser that looks and
feels like it belongs to your organization.
A Managed Fundraiser Can Stay Open Year-Round
With the fully managed option, your fundraising store can give your organization an ongoing way to offer custom products to members, families, supporters and the community without maintaining your own inventory or order system.
Available to Your Supporters
Your online fundraising store gives supporters a dedicated place to purchase products created for your organization.
Useful Throughout the Year
Promote your store around events, membership drives, holidays, anniversaries or whenever your organization wants to generate additional fundraising sales.
Room to Grow
As your organization’s needs change, we can discuss new products, designs and opportunities to keep the fundraising program relevant to your supporters.
A fully managed fundraising store can become an ongoing resource for your organization, not just a single campaign.
