Custom Patches for Nonprofit Organizations and Charities
Nonprofit patch projects often serve several goals at once:
- Volunteer recognition patches for hours served or years of service
- Awareness patches for causes and campaigns
- Donor and member patches included in membership kits
- Fundraising patches sold at events and online
- Program patches for youth, outdoor and education programs
Designing for impact
The most effective awareness patches are simple and memorable: a symbol, a few words and your organization's colors. People should understand the cause at a glance — and want to wear it.
Telling your story
We are happy to work from your existing brand guidelines or help you create a patch-friendly version of your logo. Our team will flag any details that won't translate well into thread and suggest alternatives.
Planning a fundraiser
Ordering more patches lowers the per-patch cost, increasing the margin on every sale. We can quote multiple quantity tiers so you can choose the right balance between upfront cost and fundraising potential.
Common patch applications
- Volunteer recognition patches
- Awareness campaign patches
- Donor and member kits
- Fundraising patches
- Program and youth patches
Recommended sizes & shapes
Most nonprofit patches are 2.5 to 3.5 inches. Ribbon-shaped, heart and custom-cut shapes reinforce awareness themes.
Durability
Embroidered and printed patches suit merchandise and kits. Iron-on backing makes them easy for supporters to apply.
Design considerations
Keep messaging short and visual. Use your brand colors consistently across patches, shirts and printed materials. Make sure you have rights to any partner logos.
