Why run a school tea towel fundraiser?
A school tea towel fundraiser is more than just a way to raise money, it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and cherished childhood moments. At Expressions Fundraising Australia, we’ve been proudly running printed tea towel, apron, and tote bag fundraisers for over 25 years across Australian primary schools, childcare centres, and community groups, from small remote playgroups with just eight students to large schools with over 1,000 children.
Capture a Moment in Time
There’s something magical about seeing your child’s artwork come to life on fabric. Our custom-designed tea towels allow families to treasure these special school years with beautifully printed designs that showcase students’ drawings, handprints, class lists, or school logos. Whether it’s a whole-class collaborative piece or a self-portrait from each child, these keepsakes capture more than just images, they preserve memories.
Our Expressions custom-printed tea towels are beloved by families and make meaningful gifts for Mother’s Day, grandparents, or the end of the School Year. They’re also a thoughtful way to commemorate school trips, graduations or milestone anniversaries.
Eco-Friendly, Zero-Risk, and Proven to Work
We offer organic cotton tea towels and bags printed with eco-friendly ink and water-based inks, using both screen printing and full colour digital print methods, depending on your chosen design. Our fundraisers are simple, cost nothing upfront, and deliver excellent returns. Schools retain all profits, with no financial risk.
Our fundraiser products truly work. Thousands of Australian schools have raised vital funds while gifting families with treasured keepsakes that remain in use for decades.
Easy to Set Up and Run
We guide you every step of the way. Our team supports you through artwork coordination, digital file requirements, layout selections, and inspiration for creative design. Choose from screen-printed tea towels with timeless class collages, or go bold with full colour individual artworks using digital printing. Want to design your own? Fantastic—we’re here to help bring your vision to life.
Versatile Product Range
In addition to tea towels, Expressions offers custom printed aprons, and tote bags, all made from ethically sourced organic cotton fabric and produced ethically. Add touches like kids’ faces, school buildings, school colours, school song lyrics, or tributes to special events like a school production to make your fundraiser truly unique.
