These are great ideas - it seems so obvious when you talk about them but I'm sure people haven't thought about most of your eight ideas. I love the way you cite specific examples for each of the concepts. Your contributions to the non-profit space are so appreciated.

[pusonnamyiri]

Consideration #1 - Example for selling T-Shirts. What if the shirts had your logo and basically "advertised" your rescue? If you sold them at cost, it wouldn't be revenue.

[seansuccessjones]

I have a non-profit, I setup all of my automations and systems for it, could I offer this as a service to other non-profits to do the same for them as a charge for this service?

[xoxox.skinnychef]

What about merch with your logo and mission statement?

[NathanAponte]

What if the T-shirts your selling through the non-profit has the non-profit’s name and logo on it?

[taylorw]

But if the income from the pet t-shirts funds the activities of the non-profit, even hiring or training staff, or funding an event, how is that “unrelated?”
