Court Warrior · Nonprofits, churches & causes
Gear for the cause, paid for the right way.
Volunteer shirts, a store for supporters, the gala with sponsors on the back, a shirt for a family the whole street is standing behind. Who pays decides everything else — tell us and we take you straight there.
What decides a cause order
- Your organization gives themBought for your own people and paid by the organization. Buying tax-exempt? Say so — a person confirms what we can accept before you order.
- Supporters buy themEach person picks a size and pays for the shirt. Donations stay on your own giving page — never with us.
- An event hands them outThe event date and the sponsor-logo deadline set the schedule.
- A family is being helpedFriends buy the shirts; any donations go straight to the family’s own page.
Who pays for the shirts?
A church ministry, or a walk or run?
A walk, run or ride with registration → · Church ministries →
Serve team, VBS, a mission trip or a youth retreat — each fits one of the four above.
We do — for our people
Shirts for the people who show up.
Volunteers who need to be spotted across a warehouse floor, staff and board at the gala, a serve team on Sunday. The organization pays, and the shirts are given, not sold.
- A size link for your crew. One link; each volunteer adds a name and a size; only you and Court Warrior see the list.
- One quote, one box. Styles, sizes, decoration and price in writing for whoever approves the spend, delivered to one address.
Start a size link Free, no account. Send it to us when everyone has answered.
Is the organization buying tax-exempt?
- Yes — the organization has an exemption number and pays from its own account. Tell us on the request. Tax-exempt orders are confirmed by a person before you order — we do not assume we can accept one.
- Someone pays personally and is reimbursed. Ask your treasurer whether that purchase still counts as tax-exempt before you count on it, and tell us on the request.
- Some shirts will be sold or handed out for a donation. Choose “Supporters buy them” for those shirts, and ask your treasurer how selling them affects tax-exempt buying.

- No minimum: a volunteer who joins in March is a one-shirt order, not a problem.
- Coordinators change; the organization stays. Court Warrior keeps the organization, its designs and last year’s sizes.
- Your logo is printed in full colour. Embroidery is not something we can promise today — if you need it, say so and we tell you plainly what we can do.
- Need a W-9 or a written quote for your board? Ask on the request.
Tell us what you know. We will guide the rest.
Supporters buy them
Gear your supporters actually want to wear.
The awareness shirt, the supporter hoodie, the mission-trip tee friends buy to send you. Supporters pay for their own — the question is where the money goes, and that is yours to decide before anyone orders.
- A store for supporters. Your approved designs; each supporter picks a size and pays for the shirt at checkout; each order ships to them; it closes on your date.
- Or one bulk order you sell yourselves. One quote; you set the price at your table or event.
Where should the money go?
- Supporters pay for the shirt; donations go to your own giving page. We can do this today. Share your giving page beside the store — Court Warrior never collects, holds or passes on donations.
- Part of each sale paid back to your organization. Not switched on, and we do not publish a figure we have not set. Say so on the request and we tell you plainly what we can do.
- You buy in bulk and sell them yourselves. You set the price and keep what you raise. The rules for fundraising sales and for items bought to resell are yours to check with your treasurer or adviser.

- Stores are opened by Court Warrior with you; they are not self-serve yet.
- A store cannot show you who ordered what yet, and it ships to each supporter rather than to one box.
- We never describe a shirt or a gift as tax-deductible — that is between your organization and your donors.
Tell us what you know. We will guide the rest.
They come with an event
Event shirts, sponsors and all, before the day.
The gala, the community serve day, VBS week, summer camp. The organization or its sponsors pay, and the date does not move. The sponsor-logo deadline has to come before the shirt deadline — that is where most event shirts go wrong.
- Sizes from your sign-ups. Send us your size counts, or a size link for volunteers and leaders; late sign-ups are a small second order, not a problem.
- Sponsor logos placed and checked. We collect each sponsor’s file with you and show the back of the shirt before anything is printed.

A walk, run or ride with registration Registration counts, cutoffs and a sponsor lock.
Whose names and logos go on it?
- Only your own. We can quote it now.
- Yours and your sponsors’. You confirm each sponsor has said yes and send their logo files; we place them and show you the back first.
- A national charity’s name or logo — you are raising money for it. That name belongs to the charity. Get its written OK first; we do not claim it for you.

- Put the event date on the request. We plan backward from it and tell you plainly if it cannot be made in time.
- If the event happens every year, tick the box — next year starts from this year’s sizes, sponsors and deadline, with a new design.
- Volunteers can have their own colour so guests can find them.
Tell us what you know. We will guide the rest.
Friends and family
A shirt that says we are with you.
A neighbor facing treatment, a family after a loss, a friend rebuilding after a fire. There is no organization — just people who want to help and to show it. The shirt is how they show it; any money raised is theirs to send.
- Shirts anyone can order. A private store with your design; each person picks a size, pays for the shirt, and it ships to them.
- Or one order you hand out. One quote, one box, for the service, the benefit night or the whole street.
Where do the donations go?
- To the family’s own fundraiser page. Share it beside the shirts. Court Warrior sells the shirts and never collects or passes on donations.
- To a registered charity in their name. Tell us which, and whether it has agreed to its name being used. We do not promise any part of a shirt sale to a charity.
- No money is being raised — the shirts are the tribute. We can make it now, from one piece.
See how we handle the rest →
- We never ask about a diagnosis or what happened. The name and words you want on the shirt are enough.
- Photos: use one the family has chosen. We check the file is sharp enough before it is printed.
- If there is a date — a service, a benefit night — put it on the request; we tell you plainly if it cannot be made in time.
- Nothing about the family is used in our marketing.
Tell us what you know. We will guide the rest.
A walk, run or ride with registration
A walk, run or ride for your cause.
When the public registers — a 5K, a charity walk, a ride — the shirts come from registration counts, a shirt-guarantee cutoff and a sponsor list. Our Events page is built for exactly that; the organization and cause are recorded as you tell us.
- Counts from your registration. Paste your size counts; late registrants are a small second order.
- A sponsor lock before the proof. We agree the date the sponsor list closes, then show you the back of the shirt.
Your own gala, serve day or VBS

- Raising money for a national charity? Its name and logo belong to it — get its written OK before design.
Church ministries
Church ministries: which door to use.
A church buys for many ministries, each with its own leader, budget and calendar. The church stays; the leaders and the VBS theme change every year.
- Serve teams, staff and greeters. The church pays and gives them out — start with “We do — for our people”.
- VBS, camps, retreats and mission trips. VBS and camps come with an event; mission-trip shirts that friends buy start with “Supporters buy them”.
See how we handle the rest →
- VBS theme logos belong to the curriculum publisher. If your church has a print licence for its theme, send it with your request — or we make your own design.
- Mission-trip shirt sales: decide first whether the money goes to the church or to each traveler. That changes who orders.
- Preschool VBS sizes: ask on the request and we tell you what we can make.
