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.

American Legion Post 690 in Palatine, IL is the first to kick off their local post fundraiser utilizing Nonprofit Nest, a Concierge Fundraising company that supports all 501c Non-Profit and Charitable entities. Exclusively for the American Legion offering customized Local Post T-Shirts and Sweatshirts made from 100% American materials. By offering these customized apparel items to their members, each Post can now add a personalized touch to their fundraising efforts. With the purchase of these shirts, 23% of all proceeds will go directly back to the Post.

In addition to providing a unique fundraiser idea, Nonprofit Nest makes the process incredibly easy and stress-free for each Legion Post that decides to participate. The unique selling point of this program is that it doesn’t just run for one month or have an end date; it’s an ongoing initiative throughout the year. Nonprofit Nest handles everything, from creating an online store with custom designs specific to each post, taking orders and payments, printing the apparel and then shipping them directly to customers’ homes or businesses. Once all items are sold for that month, Nonprofit Nest then sends out a check directly to each Post for its portion of proceeds. This eliminates all the stress involved in fundraising which allows more time for the Post to focus on their individual projects.

“We selected Nonprofit Nest to run our fundraiser because it was easy. We didn’t have to pay anything upfront or store bulk buy shirts in bins like we used to. Nonprofit Nest offered an effective way for any American Legion Posts such as our Post to fundraise without having to worry about any extra hassles. It’s a no brainer” said Tom Seick, Post 690 Liaison. “Our members loved the quality of the items and that they had something custom for our Post. Our Executive Board loved that each item was made in America and that we can run this fundraiser with funds coming in each month all year long.”

Nothing feels better than giving back to the community that has supported us for decades!

Jenell and I truly have a soft spot in our hearts for our Veterans, those that give selflessly, regardless of the circumstances and potential life-threatening consequences.

501cTees donated 100 polo shirts for the Veterans of The School District of Palm Beach County at their 2022 Veterans Day Memorial. We know that this is not enough, but it was what we could do to show our appreciation and give back to those that have given so much and for those that will continue to do so.

Being announced as the ‘2021 District-Wide Vendor of The Year For SDPBC’, was a major milestone for us and we have enjoyed partnerships with many different departments in many of the SDPBC schools.  We are driven to continually support their mission by bringing a corporate approach to supporting the departments with a concierge touch to an organizations that deserves to be given the reciprocal support they provide.

A school District like this needs scalability, but quality and philanthropy cannot be diminished and we intend to be here to help every step of the way.

What a great experience to be asked by the The School District of Palm Beach County to sponsor the Veterans employed by the district with their commemorative branded polos. Feeling the support of the Chief of Police and Superintendent Burke is an honor of which we will never forget.

501cTees is, and always will be here, to support our Vets and our community!!

With Love and Respect For Our Community,

Scott and Jenell Harris
