Challenge Coins for Every Purpose
Three Jobs One Coin Can Do
Nonprofits rarely buy a coin for one reason. The same run usually raises money, spreads the mission, and thanks the people carrying it.
Fundraising Coins That Do Double Duty
A branded mug picked up from the welcome table usually goes into a cupboard after the fundraiser ends, and it stays there for months. Your supporters carry a plated, weighted coin struck with the organization's mission. Sell coins at the gala, and bundle one with a giving tier for anyone who selects that level. When your group hosts a road race, hand one to every runner who finishes the 5K, and include the coin in each finisher's kit. Smaller chapters running a first fundraiser can start with stock and personalized coins or the no-minimum coin builder before committing to a full 50-coin run.
Awareness Campaign Coins
Awareness months live or die on whether people keep the thing you hand them. Ribbon colors, cause palettes, and campaign logos all translate cleanly into enamel, and coins can be cut to the shape of the ribbon itself rather than a circle. Our art team matches specified brand or ribbon colors, so a coin handed out in October reads as unmistakably yours and not as generic merch.
Volunteer & Donor Recognition
The volunteer who has shown up every Saturday for nine years has a drawer full of certificates. Coins solve the same problem for nonprofits that employee recognition coins and years-of-service coins solve for companies — a tangible, dated, keepable thank-you for tenure, board service, or a major gift.

Every Dollar Has to Work Twice as Hard
Nonprofit budgets don't have room for a merch order that disappoints. For over 25 years we've made coins good enough to sell, and good enough to give.
Custom Coins Aren't Just for Fortune 500s
You don't need a household name or a corporate budget to put a coin in someone's hand.
Some of the most memorable coins we've made came from organizations nobody had heard of yet. Scoops for Troops was started by a nine-year-old and raised $30,000 for veterans. Heroes in the Rough sells its coins to fund the golf events it gives away free to veterans. The Highground doesn't sell its coins at all — it mails them, at random, to regular donors. And the 501st Legion has ordered more coins from us than most corporations, one garrison and one charity event at a time.
The through-line is that a coin does something a t-shirt can't: it carries the mission in a pocket instead of a closet. Whether you're a national foundation, a local chapter, a recovery program, a faith community, or a veterans service organization, the design work is free, the revisions are unlimited, and the minimum is 50 coins.
Everything You Need to Know
Common questions from the nonprofits and charities we work with. Still have questions? Our team is a phone call away.
Custom coins start at 50 per design. If your organization needs fewer, our no-minimum custom coin builder lets you order as few as one coin, and stock and personalized coins have no minimum either — a practical option for a small chapter, a pilot fundraiser, or a single donor gift.
Yes. Send us the ribbon color, cause palette, or brand guide and our art team matches it in soft or hard enamel, including Pantone matching when your organization has specified colors. Awareness campaigns often want the ribbon itself as the coin’s shape — we cut coins to custom shapes at no extra charge beyond the mold, so a ribbon, a paw print, or your logo silhouette all work.
Per-coin pricing drops as quantity goes up, with price breaks at 100, 300, 500, and 1,000 coins — so a chapter-wide or multi-event order lands in a better tier than a small run. We don’t run a separate nonprofit discount; the volume tiers are the same ones every customer gets. Compare volume pricing on our challenge coin pricing page.
Most tie a coin to a giving tier — a supporter who crosses a threshold gets a coin instead of another certificate — or hand one to every board member, major donor, and long-serving volunteer at the annual gala. The approach mirrors what companies do with employee recognition coins and years-of-service coins, adapted to volunteer tenure instead of employment.
Yes, plenty of organizations already do this, and the money goes back into their programs. A full production run of 100 coins typically costs $5.25 - $6.69 per coin, depending on size and quantity, and coloration changes the price too. Nonprofits sell them at events and in online shops for well above that. A donor pays more for something solid and made for the cause, a coin they pocket and keep, than for a mug or shirt in a closet or drawer.
