What is the Dubuque Clothing Co. Fundraising Program?
It’s our hometown‑built way to help local teams, schools, nonprofits, and community groups raise money with zero hassle. We design it, host it, print it, and ship it — you simply share the link and earn money on every sale.
How does the fundraiser work?
- You pick your apparel and design (or we help create one).
- We build your custom online store on the Dubuque Clothing Co. platform.
- You share the link with your supporters.
- We print and ship every order directly to each customer.
- You receive your earnings once the campaign wraps.
Does it cost anything to start?
Nope. Starting a fundraiser with Dubuque Clothing Co. is 100% free — no setup fees, no inventory, no minimums.
How much can our group earn?
You choose your profit. Most groups earn $5–$12 per item, depending on the products and pricing you select.
Who handles printing, packing, and shipping?
We do. Every shirt is printed right here through Dubuque Clothing Co., and we ship directly to each supporter so you don’t have to sort boxes or hand out orders.
Can we use our own artwork or logo?
Absolutely. Upload your design, or let our team help you create something custom for your cause.
How long should our fundraiser run?
Most groups choose 10–21 days, but you can set the timeline that works best for your audience.
When do we get paid?
After the fundraiser closes and all orders are processed, we send your payout directly to you.
Can people outside Dubuque order?
Yes. Your store works nationwide — anyone, anywhere can support your cause.
What products can we offer?
T‑shirts, hoodies, long sleeves, youth sizes, and more. We’ll help you choose the best mix for your supporters.
Do charities need to submit a W‑9 form?
If your fundraiser earns over a certain amount, we may require a W‑9 form from your organization before issuing your payout. This is simply for tax reporting purposes and is standard practice for nonprofit and fundraising disbursements. We’ll let you know if and when it’s needed — and we make the process quick and easy.
