Fundraising with Children’s Artwork: Christmas Cards and Gifts

This type of fundraiser is not only heartwarming but also incredibly versatile. There are a number of companies that specialise in transferring children’s artwork—or even photos of their artwork—onto high-quality products like Christmas cards, calendars, tea towels, mugs, pillows, diaries, phone cases, tote bags, and more. These items make wonderful gifts for family members, teachers, and friends, adding a personal touch to the festive season.

Why Choose Artwork Fundraisers for Christmas?

  1. Unique Keepsakes: Parents and grandparents treasure personalised items that feature a child’s artwork. These gifts are more than just functional—they’re memories captured in time.
  2. Holiday Ready: Christmas-themed items like cards, calendars, and mugs are perfect for the season, and families will appreciate the convenience of ordering them in time for gifting.
  3. Double the Impact: If your school has already hosted an art show, you’ve done the hard work of collecting the artwork. Now, you can repurpose it for another round of fundraising.

How to Get Started

  1. Plan Early: Reach out to companies that specialise in transferring artwork onto products. Many have user-friendly platforms to streamline the process.
  2. Promote the Fundraiser: Use newsletters, social media, and posters to spread the word. Show samples of the products to generate excitement.
  3. Timing is Key: If your art show is scheduled soon, start organising this add-on fundraiser now. Showcase sample products at the event to catch parents’ interest while they’re already in a buying mindset.

Maximise Your Christmas Fundraising

This type of fundraiser is flexible and can work at any time of year, but the holiday season offers a unique opportunity to maximize sales. Personalised Christmas cards and gifts make thoughtful, practical presents, and families will appreciate the chance to check items off their to-do list while supporting your school.

Don’t miss out on this creative fundraising idea! Start planning now, connect with a supplier, and turn your students’ creativity into a successful holiday fundraiser. By combining the magic of Christmas with the charm of children’s artwork, you’ll create a fundraising event that’s memorable, meaningful, and profitable.
