Fundtique:
your questions answered.
-
Each Fundtique designed collection is a cohesive mix of thoughtful apparel, accessories, and lifestyle goods created specifically for your organization.
A typical curated collection includes a seasonal mix of:
Premium Apparel: Custom hoodies, heavyweight tees, crewneck sweatshirts, and tailored joggers.
Everyday Accessories: Custom-knit beanies, embroidered caps, and durable tote bags.
Lifestyle Goods: Insulated drinkware, custom blankets, and seasonal spirit items.
The quality is what sets it apart. Pieces range from accessible basics to garments from national brands your community already knows, each one customized with your identity. The designs go well beyond a printed logo: embroidery, appliqué, puff print, and custom knitwear give every collection the depth and texture of a boutique label. Every collection is themed for the season and built around your community's identity: fresh, intentional, and made to be worn, not just bought to show support.

Fundtique doesn't simply provide merchandise or a storefront for your organization to manage. We create and operate the entire merchandise program for you.
We design an exclusive, boutique-quality collection specifically for your organization, from custom graphics and product selection to embroidery, appliqué, specialty printing, custom knitwear and more. Your organization reviews and approves the collection before anything is offered for sale.
Then we create a dedicated online boutique for your community to shop. Fundtique owns, hosts and manages the boutique, provides the merchandise, processes customer purchases, manages production and fulfillment, and provides customer support. Your organization never purchases inventory, manages vendors or operates the store. You simply share the boutique with your community and receive 20%+ of every sale.
Our limited-time pre-order model means products are produced based on customer orders, so there is no inventory to purchase upfront and no leftover merchandise for your organization to manage.
And the difference isn't only how the program operates. It's what your community gets to shop. We create thoughtfully curated collections of apparel, accessories, gifts and seasonal pieces with custom graphics and elevated details, all designed to feel like a cohesive boutique collection created specifically for your community.
-
Your organization earns 20% or more of every purchase (excluding tax, shipping expense and returns), paid directly back to you, with no cost or inventory risk on your end. Because every item is made to order, there's nothing to buy upfront and nothing left over, every dollar we return is pure fundraising profit for you.
The remaining share covers what it actually takes to run a fully managed program: designing and producing premium, custom merchandise, building and hosting your shop, fulfilling every order, and providing direct customer support to your community, so your team never has to. Unlike self-serve platforms that hand you a template and leave the rest to your volunteers, we handle it all, start to finish.
-
Yes, absolutely. Fundtique is designed to complement your active merchandise or apparel program, not replace it. Think of it as a pop-up boutique for your community—a seasonal moment with a curated collection available for a limited time.
How Fundtique coexists with your current apparel options:
Your Existing Store or Vendor: Handles the everyday, ongoing basics (like standard uniform pieces, daily volunteer shirts, or year-round gear).
A Fundtique Drop: Creates an exclusive, high-energy event (offering premium, seasonal, limited-edition boutique collections).
The two serve different purposes and completely different buying occasions. Many schools, nonprofits, and community organizations find that running both programs together naturally maximizes their overall fundraising revenue without any internal conflict.
-
Each custom boutique is open for a limited, strategic window—typically around two weeks.
This limited-time shopping window is entirely intentional. It creates a sense of urgency, drives high community participation, and keeps each seasonal collection feeling exclusive and special.
Because every drop functions as a true fundraiser—with 20% of every single purchase raised directly for your organization—the short timeline helps concentrate momentum, turning a simple merchandise launch into an exciting community event.
-
We make it entirely effortless. When your custom shop goes live, we provide your organization with a direct, shareable link and a complete, ready-to-use digital toolkit.
Every promotional toolkit includes:
Custom Social Graphics: Ready-to-post imagery tailored for Instagram, Facebook, and local community groups.
Suggested Captions: Written, high-conversion copy blocks you can quickly copy and paste.
Email Templates: Formatted announcement emails ready to send out to your parent or member newsletter lists.
Most schools, PTAs, and community groups find the biggest success by sharing these assets through their existing parent communication channels, weekly newsletters, or official social media pages. Because there is a limited shopping window, a quick and consistent promotional push leads directly to the biggest fundraising results.
-
No. Fundtique handles every individual order from start to finish. Each order is fulfilled, packaged and prepared for the customer before it leaves us.
Customers can choose from two delivery options:
Free organization pickup: We deliver individually packaged orders to your school or organization, ready for customer pickup. There is no merchandise sorting, order packing or fulfillment required by your team.
Direct-to-home shipping: Customers who prefer home delivery can have their completed order shipped directly to them for a small shipping fee.
Your organization never has to manage inventory, sort merchandise or assemble individual orders.
-
Getting started is simple and entirely risk-free. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a discovery call to tell us about your organization.
Our simple 3-step onboarding process:
Schedule a talk: We discuss your organization's goals, timeline, and aesthetic preferences.
Review Your Custom Designs: Our team builds a curated, boutique collection tailored to your community for your leadership team to review and approve.
Launch Your boutique: We provide your digital promotional toolkit, your limited-time online shop goes live, and your community starts fundraising.
We walk you through every single phase and handle all the logistics behind the scenes, so your team can focus entirely on sharing the excitement with your community.
-
No long-term commitment or financial risk is required.
Each limited-time merchandise drop operates as its own individual, standalone engagement. Before we launch your custom boutique, we use a simple, streamlined agreement to protect your organization's brand and logos.
Zero Financial Liability: Your organization never pays a dime out of pocket, and there are never any penalty fees if your shop doesn't hit a specific sales goal.
No Long-Term Lock-Ins: You are never locked into an ongoing exclusivity contract or forced to do future drops.
Bespoke Flexibility: Each drop is treated as a one-time event. We hope you will love the effortless fundraising experience enough to partner with us season after season, but you are completely free to use our platform whenever your organization needs a boost.
-
You can run as many custom fundraisers as your organization needs—there are no annual limits. Most of our partners choose to run two to four curated drops per year, aligning each launch with key moments in their calendar.
Popular fundraising moments include:
Fall / Back-to-School: Kick off the year with fresh spirit wear, custom outerwear, and student essentials.
Winter / Holiday Gift Shops: Offer premium, cozy apparel and custom lifestyle goods perfect for seasonal gifting.
Spring / Event Weeks: Launch lightweight apparel, hats, and field-day accessories for warm-weather events.
Because every single drop features an entirely new, limited-edition theme built from scratch around your community's current identity, each event feels fresh, exclusive, and exciting rather than repetitive. We will work directly with your leadership team to build a custom calendar that fits your exact schedule.
