26 Party Favors for All of Your Annual Fundraiser Ideas

Keep the heat at bay with an elegant fan as a favor.

Encourage guests to remember your cause for many growing seasons to come by giving them seed packets for native wildflowers or potted plants. An inexpensive gardening tool can make it extra festive.

Print your event’s signature cocktail on a scroll of paper and tuck it inside an engraved Collins glass with a couple of paper straws peeking out of the top.

This one never goes out of style. Let guests take centerpieces of freshly cut flowers home as souvenirs. If you have a different party favor in mind, you can also use Qtego Instabuy to sell your centerpiece and bump up those final donations.

Golf pencils keep score long after the event day. Print the event or nonprofit organization name on the side.

Especially on warm days, a branded water bottle will serve guests well during and after play.

Get your logo embroidered on a golf club head cover for each player. If this doesn’t make financial sense, consider selling a limited number of embroidered covers using Qtego’s Instabuy tool.

Order event-specific Koozies to keep cold drinks cold.

Give your supporters soft-sided coolers filled with inexpensive treats or offers from event sponsors.

Give them a 12-month running or activity log with your logo on the front. If you already know the date for next year’s event, use a brightly colored marker to “save the date” in the log.

Print personalized bib numbers for each participant. The bibs could also feature an offer from a sponsor for a free drink or discounted item at a local restaurant or shop.

A branded finisher’s medal or small trophy is a great memento from your event. For an inexpensive alternative, try using gold foil starburst stickers that resemble gold medals to decorate a favor.

At the end of the event, send each participant home with a branded water bottle featuring the event date.

Reward them with a cupcake or cookies at the finish line! Box up individual treats decorated with ribbons in your brand’s colors as a well-deserved thank-you for participating.

Keep guests warm and caffeinated with a goodie bag of locally roasted coffee or a container of loose-leaf tea tucked inside a branded insulated cup.

Tis the season for campfires! In a cellophane baggie, bundle up the makings for smores, or hot cocoa with marshmallows and chocolate shavings. On the savory side, tie a basting brush alongside a custom-labeled bottle of barbecue sauce.

Track down a keychain that fits your theme. Customize it with an inspiring saying. Remind guests that they are the “key” to empowering your mission.

Customize cardboard, cork or even wooden coasters. Give guests a stack or just one, depending on your budget. This makes a great Instabuy item, too!

As guests are leaving your motivational program, offer them a small notebook. Inside, include prompts that challenge them to take what they heard during the event and apply it to their own lives.

Did your keynote speaker write a book? Give guests a signed copy. Include a branded bookmark that they will see every time they pick up the book. 

Match the lecture topic to a creative treat. For a wellness topic, give guests a magnet with an inspiring saying, a sleeping mask and a coupon for a complimentary yoga class. For a social justice talk, encourage guests to show their support with a branded bandana, enamel pin or T-shirt.

Tie up a short stack of postcards or notecards featuring a special picture or image that represents your cause. Include your nonprofit organization’s logo, web address or hashtag on each card. Package them in a pretty envelope or bag.

Give each guest a candle in a winter-appropriate scent such as pine, spruce, cinnamon or clove. Personalize the glass with an elegantly designed label or sticker and place in a pretty box. A personalized book of matches adds an extra touch.

Give them an engraved rocks glass filled with sweets.

Wish your guests happy holidays with a special ornament to commemorate the evening.

Embrace the cold weather with miniature ice cube trays to make unusually shaped ice. Look for roses, diamonds, animals or the classic “big rock” for drinks on ice.
