Raise Money With a Card Supporters Keep in Their Wallet
Your group sells the card, the buyer gets a perk, and the proceeds fund your cause. Because a fundraising card prints on 30mil white plastic, the same stock a real credit card is made from, supporters keep it instead of letting paper pulp in a wallet. Run a school discount card, a booster-club membership drive, or a scratch-off prize card, and you have a piece built to be sold. Pricing starts at $226.11 for 250, rated 4.6 out of 5 across 5 reviews.
They swipe, scan, and ride in a wallet for a full season without bending, tearing, or fading. To compare the fundraising card with the rest of the plastic-card lineup, browse every style on business cards printing, or build yours from the choices below.
Run size matters more here than on other cards, because you sell these to raise money. A set of 250 starts at $226.11, about 90 cents a card, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 10,000, where each card lands just under 25 cents. The wider the gap between what a card costs and what you sell it for, the more your fundraiser keeps. Tap any tier below to see its total and what the step up saves.
What Are Plastic Fundraising Cards
A plastic fundraising card is a durable 30mil plastic card that a school, team, or nonprofit sells to raise money, usually offering discounts at local businesses or acting as a membership or donor card. At 4OVER4 these print full color on one or both sides at the credit-card size of 2.125" x 3.375", on 30mil white plastic, with numbering, barcodes, and scratch-off options chosen when you order.
It works as a discount card, membership card, or donor card that pays for itself: your supporters buy the card, the card gives them a perk, and the money funds your cause. Because it prints on 30mil plastic instead of paper, it does not bend, tear, or fade after a week in a back pocket. You set full color on the front with a blank or printed back, pick a finish, and add the tracking features that fit your campaign. Sitting beside the Plastic Membership Cards and Plastic Discount Cards, the fundraising card is the one built to be sold.
What Size and Material Are the Cards
Plastic fundraising cards come in one universal size, 2.125" x 3.375", the same footprint as a credit card, so they fit any wallet, badge holder, or card reader. They print on 30mil white plastic, the thickness of a real credit card, and ship with rounded 1/8" corners. You finish them with a UV gloss coat or a silk-laminated matte, in full color on the front with a blank or full-color back.
The one size is the one everyone already carries: 2.125" x 3.375", the standard credit-card footprint. That means your card slides into the same wallet slot as a debit card and swipes through the same readers. The stock is 30mil white plastic, credit-card thick and waterproof, so it will not crease or pulp the way a paper card does. Every card comes with rounded 1/8" corners as standard. For the look, pick a glossy UV finish for bright color or a silk-laminated matte for a softer, fingerprint-resistant feel, and choose full color on the front only or on both sides.
What Personalization and Security Options Can You Add
Plastic fundraising cards support sequential numbering, Code 128 and Code 39 barcodes, LoCo or HiCo magnetic stripes, scratch-off panels with a hidden PIN, raised embossed numbering, a signature panel, metallic foil stamping, and a punched lanyard slot. Each option is set in the configurator and lets you track, secure, or personalize every card in a run.
Turn on sequential numbering and every card carries its own number, so you know exactly which ones sold. Add a Code 128 or Code 39 barcode, or a LoCo or HiCo magnetic stripe, and the card scans or swipes at a register or event scanner. A scratch-off panel hides a PIN or prize code your supporter reveals, and a signature panel gives a membership card a place to sign. You can raise the numbers with gold-tipped embossing, stamp a metallic foil logo, and punch a lanyard slot on the short or long side so supporters can wear the card at your event. Print full color on both sides to fit the partner list on the back.
Most fundraising cards start from your own artwork, but if you want a head start on the layout, browse the free, professionally built layouts in our business card design templates and swap in your logo, colors, and copy in the online editor.

How Much Do Plastic Fundraising Cards Cost
Plastic fundraising cards start at $226.11 for 250, about 90 cents per card, and the price scales across 12 quantity tiers up to 10,000, dropping to just under 25 cents per card at the top. The entry price is $226.11 for 250 cards; order more and the per-card cost falls fast, with 1,000 cards at $377.68, about 38 cents each, and 10,000 cards at $2,474.47.
Since fundraising cards are meant to be sold, the gap between what a card costs to print and what you sell it for is your fundraiser, so a larger run at a lower per-card price puts more money back into your cause. Set the slider below to the number of cards your sellers can move in one drive to see the set total and the per-card cost.
What Do Organizations Use Plastic Fundraising Cards For
Organizations use plastic fundraising cards as discount cards, membership and donor cards, VIP supporter cards, and scratch-off prize cards. Schools, sports teams, booster clubs, churches, and nonprofits sell them to raise money, often bundling local-business discounts onto one card. Sequential numbering and barcodes let a group track sales and redemptions across a whole campaign.
The classic version is the community discount card: your supporters pay for a card, the card gets them deals at local businesses that signed on, and your group keeps the proceeds. Sports teams and booster clubs sell them season after season. Churches and nonprofits use them as donor or membership cards that double as a thank-you. Add a scratch-off PIN and the same card becomes a raffle or instant-prize card. Because each card can be numbered and barcoded, you can track exactly how many sold and how many got redeemed. For a card that reads more like a gift or reward, the Plastic Gift Cards and Plastic Membership Cards share the same 30mil stock.
How Do Plastic Fundraising Cards Compare to Other Plastic Cards
Plastic fundraising cards are built to be sold, but they are one of several cards that run on the same 30mil white plastic. A membership card, a gift card and a straight discount card each start at their own price. The chart below lines up plastic fundraising cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose. The Plastic Discount Cards are the closest cousin when the card is purely a deal.
How Fast Can You Get Plastic Fundraising Cards
Plastic fundraising cards print on a standard 15 business day turnaround, since plastic cards with numbering, magnetic stripes, or scratch-off panels run through extra finishing steps. You can request a free online proof before production to check your artwork, numbering, and placement, and the configurator confirms the timeline before you order.
Plastic cards take longer than paper because each one is laminated, cut, and run through whatever finishing you added, whether that is a magnetic stripe, embossing, or a scratch-off panel. Standard production is 15 business days. Before any of that starts, choose a free online proof and you will see a digital preview of your card, including the numbering and barcode placement, so nothing prints wrong across a run of thousands. Every order is backed by 4OVER4's Gold Standard guarantees, so the cards arrive right or the team makes it right.

Print Cost Against Selling Price
The fundraiser is the gap between what a card costs to print and what a supporter pays for it, so the run size is the first decision. These are the tiers named on this page, out of 12 in the configurator.
| Quantity | Run price | Per card |
|---|---|---|
| 250 | $226.11 | About 90 cents |
| 1,000 | $377.68 | About 38 cents |
| 10,000 | $2,474.47 | Just under 25 cents |
Two ways to widen the gap. Order at the tier your group can actually sell, since the per-card cost falls fastest between 250 and 1,000. And print full color on both sides, then offer the back panel to the local businesses whose discounts the card carries. Their logos cover part of the print bill, and every dollar above the per-card cost goes to the cause. A free online proof lets the committee check the sponsor names before the 30mil plastic is cut.
Plastic Fundraising Cards: Frequently Asked Questions
How do we track which cards our sellers have sold?
Sequential numbering puts a unique number on every card in the run, so each one can be assigned to a seller or a team and reconciled at the end of the drive. Code 128 or Code 39 barcodes let a partner business scan the card at redemption instead of writing the number down. A magnetic stripe is available if the merchant swipes cards.
What does a fundraising card cost per unit?
A run of 250 starts at $226.11, which is about 90 cents a card, and the price drops to just under 25 cents at 10,000 across 12 quantity tiers. The larger tiers are where the margin per card sold gets meaningful, so run the numbers against how many your group can realistically sell.
Will the cards survive a whole season in a supporter wallet?
They print on 30mil white plastic, the same thickness as a credit card, and the stock is waterproof with 1/8 inch rounded corners. That is what keeps a card usable through a school year rather than pulping in a back pocket like a paper voucher. Every card is the same universal 2.125 inch by 3.375 inch size.
Can we run a scratch-off prize card instead of a straight discount?
Yes. A scratch-off PIN area can be added so each card hides a code or a prize until it is revealed, which is a different sell from a flat discount card. Combine it with sequential numbering if you need to verify winners against a list.
Can we print sponsor logos on the back?
Yes. You can print full color on the front with a blank back, or full color on both sides, and the back is where most groups put the participating businesses, the terms, and the expiry wording. Selling back-of-card space to local sponsors is a common way to cover the print cost.
Can we approve the design before the whole run prints?
Yes, a free online proof is available so your committee can sign off on the layout before production starts. That matters on a fundraiser, where sponsor names, dates, and offer wording all have to be exactly right and a reprint eats the proceeds.
What finish options are there?
You can choose a UV gloss coat for a bright, hard shine, or a silk-laminated matte for a softer, lower-glare surface, and metallic foil stamping can be added on top of either. Gloss photographs well for promotion, matte feels more understated in the hand.
How do fundraising cards work?
Your group buys the cards, sells them to supporters at a price above the print cost, and keeps the difference. The buyer gets a perk in return, usually discounts at local businesses printed on the card, a membership, or a scratch-off prize. Because the card is 30mil plastic, the same thickness as a credit card, supporters carry it all season, and sequential numbering or a barcode lets you track which cards sold and which were redeemed.
What are some good fundraiser cards to sell?
The community discount card sells best season after season: local businesses agree to a deal, the card lists them, and supporters buy it for the savings. A membership or donor card works for churches and clubs that want to thank a giver with something they keep. A scratch-off prize card turns the same 2.125" x 3.375" plastic into a raffle, with a hidden PIN under the panel. All three print on the same 30mil stock from $226.11 per 250.
How to make fundraising cards?
Start from the blank plastic fundraising card template, built at the 2.125" x 3.375" trim with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin drawn in, or open a business card design template in the online editor. Put the offer and your group on the front and the sponsors, terms and expiry on the back. Add sequential numbering, a barcode or a scratch-off panel in the configurator, approve the free online proof, and allow 15 business days for production.
