Nonprofit FAQs

GoodSpree is a fundraising platform that enables nonprofits to sell print on demand products such as t-shirts, pillows, towels and more. GoodSpree combines charitable giving with tangible benefits that non-profit supporters love.

Selling merchandise allows nonprofits to expand their donor group to a much wider audience than donations alone provide. People love to get something physical for a contribution.

Designs can be sent in .ai, .psd, .eps, or .svg formats. Bit images can also be used but must be larger than 1000 pixels on the longest side with at least 80% of the design taking up the background at 300 dpi. Formats accepted for these are .png or .jpeg.

GoodSpree offers a wide variety of apparel and home decor products. For a full list, please see the about section of our website containing a full inventory of products.

GoodSpree shares profits on product sales with nonprofits as follows: 40% Nonprofit Organization * / 60% GoodSpree. Credit card transactions are processed at a special nonprofit rate of 2.2% + 0.30 per transaction by Stripe. The transaction fee is deducted from the organization’s share of the profit. It’s important to note that GoodSpree does not receive a share of the donations. This is is contrast to other platforms, which charge the credit card transaction fee plus ~%5 of the donations.

The minimum product price is the lowest price for an item. Since GoodSpree sells products on a “name your price” model...

Name Your Price allows you to choose what you wish to pay for a product. If you care more about an issue, you can support it more.

The amount of money a non-profit can raise is unlimited. The more effort put into a campaign generally the more results that are seen.

Organizations will be sent a 1099-MISC if they generate $600 or more annually through GoodSpree.

The minimum product price is not tax-deductible. Donation amounts paid over the minimum product price made to registered non-profit organizations 501(c)(3) in good standing with the IRS are deductible to the extent allowed by law. Consult with your tax advisor or attorney for additional information.

For charitable donations to a registered 501(3)(c) organization made through the GoodSpree platform, in most cases GoodSpree will email a tax letter to donors. In some cases the letter will come directly from the organization, and in other cases the letter will be provided by GoodSpree and the organization.
