Coming off two very successful months, Local American Legion Posts in both Illinois and Florida are now taking advantage of the Nonprofit Nest Customized Apparel Fundraisers. Local American Legion posts can now take a stress-free approach to fundraising due to the no up front fees, customized design and hold no inventory for their customized apparel fundraisers. Each order donates back to the Local Post but has now been EXPANDED and approved to donate back to the state department as an additional fundraiser as well.
Marty Conatser, Department Adjutant, Department of Illinois had this to say having recently received approval from the IL Legion State Finance and Executive Board.
“The American Legion Department of Illinois is proud to partner with Nonprofit Nest, to launch the Local Post Customized Apparel Fundraiser and empower Illinois Legions, Units, and Squadrons to fundraise in a more exclusive way. Nonprofit Nest commitment toward upholding the National requirements of our American Legion brandmark – as well as requesting each Post gain their limited license via Emblem Sales – we have full confidence that raising funds for your Local Posts is just the beginning. It’s an incredible opportunity for Local Posts across the state to raise funds on their own terms; funds for the Local Post and State are guaranteed with every customized apparel item.
