Affordable Custom Banners for Non-profits

Posted by Half Price Banners on Jun 16th 2025

Non-profits do a lot of good with limited time and resources. Whether it’s a food drive, church event, or a fundraiser for rescue animals, these organizations work hard to make a difference. One of the biggest challenges? Getting people to notice what’s going on. Do you agree?

That’s where custom banners and signs come in. They’re one of the easiest and most affordable ways to share your message with the community. You don’t need a big budget or a fancy setup, just a clear banner and a strong message can go a long way.

At Half Price Banners, we enjoy helping non-profits, so we created a special perk just for them on every order! We’ve worked with all kinds of groups, from small local youth teams to large national organizations. It’s always great to see the smart and creative ways they use custom banners. Here are some ideas that might work for your group, too.

Smart Ways Non-profits Use Custom Banners

1. Fundraisers and Events

Walks, auctions, bake sales, you name it. Events like these help bring in donations and volunteers. A custom banner outside the building or at the entrance tells people they’re in the right place and gives your event a more polished, welcoming feel.

Good picks:

2. Churches and Faith Groups

Churches and ministries often use banners for Sunday services, outreach programs, holiday celebrations, and community events. A banner helps spread the word, whether it’s on the lawn, sidewalk, or even inside the sanctuary.

Good picks:

3. Animal Shelters and Pet Rescues

Many animal groups take pets on the road to help them find forever homes. At adoption events, custom banners help folks know where to go and what’s happening. You can even print pet names or QR codes linking to their adoption info.

Good picks:

4. Schools and After-School Programs

School groups, parent-teacher associations, mentoring programs, and other kid-focused non-profits use custom banners to celebrate students, promote events, or ask for volunteers. Whether it’s a science fair or a graduation day, signs help bring the community together.

Good picks:

5. Food Banks and Drives

During donation or distribution events, people need to know where to go and what to do. Clear banners make it easier to organize drop-off points, direct traffic, and thank volunteers.

Tips for Ordering Custom Banners

Keep it short and clear. Say what’s happening, who it’s for, and when. Avoid cramming in too much text.

Use colors that pop. Pick colors that are easy to see from a distance. If it’s an outdoor sign, avoid light fonts on white backgrounds.

Pick the right size. A small sign can get lost in a big field, while a huge banner might not fit on a table. Measure your space first.

Plan for reuse. If you hold similar events often, think about reusing the same banner. Keep the design flexible, just add small details with stickers or signs.

Top 3 FAQ’s

Do Half Price Banners offer discounts for non-profit organizations?

What banner materials work best for outdoor non-profit events?

  • For outdoor events such as fundraisers, church events, or school programs, we recommend using 15oz or 18oz vinyl banners for their durability, mesh banners for windy areas, and yard signs for directional signage or sponsor recognition. These hold up well in different weather conditions and are easy to display.

Can I design the banner myself or upload a ready-made file?

  • Yes, definitely. You can use our online design tool, located in the "artwork" section of a product, to create your banner from scratch or upload a print-ready file from tools like Canva or Photoshop.
