The most important aspect of any fundraiser is not the fundraising goal, the usage of the funds, or the reward system for its participants. It is the fundraiser’s marketing strategy. If no one knows about your fundraiser, nothing else matters, and posters that can be displayed prominently can be an important way to get the word out.
The most important aspect of any fundraiser is not the fundraising goal, the usage of the funds, or the rewards offered to participants. It is the fundraiser’s marketing strategy. If no one knows about your fundraiser, nothing else matters, and posters that can be displayed prominently are an effective way to spread the word.
Below are five websites that offer free fundraising poster templates or generators that you can use for your event.
ForOurSchool.org: Free fundraising poster builder
ForOurSchool.org offers a free poster builder designed specifically for Read-A-Thons and Math-A-Thons. While it cannot be used for other types of fundraisers, the posters do not include a watermark, no sign-up or membership is required, and posters can be built and downloaded for free. The designs are also cute as can be. Definitely worth a look to see if it fits your needs.

Canva: Fundraising poster templates
Canva is the most well-known resource for accessing templates that can be used for posters, but the vast majority of those available are premium, meaning you need to pay a subscription fee to access them. Free templates are available, but they are limited to specific sizes, which can be an issue if you need a large, high-quality print.
DID YOU KNOW? ForOurSchool.org is the only platform that offers a free, online Math-A-Thon platform
Edit.org: Editable fundraising flyer templates
Edit.org provides editable fundraising flyer and poster templates. While some templates are free, users must create an account to access them, and downloaded posters include a watermark unless a paid plan is used.
ALSO THIS: ForOurSchool.org also offers a free award certificate generator
Whee.ai: AI generated fundraising posters
While there is a whole bevy of AI generated poster generators, Whee.ai stands out for its simplicity and clean design style.
NEWS TO ME! ForOurSchool.org’s Math-A-Thon includes over 400 types of math problems that can be solved online or via worksheets
ChatGPT: The most popular AI image generator tool
If you haven’t used ChatGPT to create images yet, you are missing out. With simple prompts like “Create a poster for my school’s Read-A-Thon”, you’ll get a high-quality poster that can be tailored to your needs. Text and numbers can still be jumbled, so they may require manual editing.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
- Design AI: Creates many different poster options based on a single prompt, but requires sign-up to access them
- Poster My Wall: Boasts 10,000+ designs, but downloads are limited in size (900×695) and include watermarks
- Venngage: Requires sign-up and limited free templates available
- Pixazo.ai: Another AI poster generator, though its credit system can be confusing
- Freepik: Allows poster editing, but requires users to log in
