Plastic Fundraising Cards

These cards are made to survive being used. They swipe, scan, and ride around in a wallet for a full season without bending, tearing, or fading, so every supporter keeps pulling yours out. Want to see how the fundraising card sits next to the rest of the plastic-card lineup? Browse every style on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run, which matters more here than on any other card, because you are selling 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 that gap between what a card costs and what you sell it for, the more your fundraiser keeps. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each 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 set in the live configurator.

Think of it 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, so it keeps working every time your supporter pulls it out. 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.

There is one size here, and it 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 that makes color pop 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.

This is where a fundraising card earns its keep. 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 and the plastic card starts doing the work of a full membership kit.

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. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

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. Need 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. If you are weighing a membership card, a gift card, or a straight discount card, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. 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.
