Frequently asked questions

No. There are no upfront or direct costs to start a fundraising campaign with Game Changer. The garment cost is simply deducted from the funds you raise before payout.

Tees are $70 and hoodies are $90, printed and delivered. These amounts are deducted from your campaign's total before we transfer your funds — you keep everything raised above them.

A lot. No sausage sizzles in the rain, no door-knocking, no chasing payments or reconciling cash. Supporters pay by card on your campaign page, progress updates live for everyone to see, and the important info is always on your page — so you can focus on your team, not the admin.

Your garments still get printed with the names of everyone who donated — the list is condensed, so there are no blank spots.

Your team receives all funds raised above the garment cost. If a shirt raises less than its garment cost ($70 tee / $90 hoodie), the club covers the difference.

Two kinds. Name campaigns: every player has their own shirt or hoodie, and supporters claim numbered spots to have their name printed on the back — spots can all be one price, or tiered so spot #1 costs more than the last spot. Sponsor campaigns: one team shirt with gold (front), silver (back) and bronze (sleeve) logo positions for business sponsors.

Get in touch with us at support@gamechanger.org.nz with your story, your team list (a spreadsheet is perfect — names and sizes), your club logo, and your pricing. We'll have your campaign page live the same day, usually within the hour.

Yes — your page carries your club or school logo (printed front-left chest on every garment), a campaign line underneath it such as "AIMS GAMES 2026", your story, your garment colour, and a live mockup of the shirt showing exactly where everything prints.

Every campaign has its own link you can send by text, email or social media. In name campaigns, every player also has their own personal link — open their shirt, tap "Copy link", and send it straight to friends and whānau. Anyone opening that link lands directly on that player's shirt.

Yes — contact us and we'll update your story, photos, or closing date at any point before the campaign closes. Supporter names are locked once printing begins.

Absolutely. Run campaigns back-to-back through the year, or several at once for different teams or causes.

Your campaign page shows live progress — every claimed spot updates the total instantly for everyone watching. We'll also be in touch as your campaign fills or your closing date approaches.

We collect each player's size when the campaign is set up — include a size column in your team spreadsheet and we'll take it from there. We'll send you size charts when your campaign is set up so everyone can check their fit.

On name campaigns the back is text only — the supporter list with the player's surname printed along the bottom. If you want logos, run a sponsor campaign: gold logo on the front, a bronze logo on each sleeve, and silver logos on the back. Sponsors upload their logo (PNG, SVG or AI) when they claim their position.

Yes — every fundraising garment carries your club or school logo on the left chest (up to 10cm wide) with an optional campaign line underneath. It's supplied when your campaign is set up and printed the same on every garment.

Campaigns run on our fundraising tee ($70), hoodie ($90), or both, in your choice of colour. As sportswear manufacturers we have a full custom range beyond these — if you're after something different, get in touch and we'll sort you out.

That's your choice when the campaign is set up. Option one: a single set of spots or sponsorships, with every claim printed on both the tee and the hoodie. Option two: the tee and the hoodie each carry their own separate spots or sponsorships — twice the positions to sell, and supporters or sponsors choose which garment they appear on.

The printed list is condensed — unsold spots are simply left out, never printed blank.

Absolutely — supporters can claim as many spots as they like.

Names print in spot order, with the player's surname along the bottom of the back. Lists of 20 names or fewer print in a single column; 21 to 40 names print in two columns side by side. 40 spots is the maximum per shirt.

Yes. Load the whole team into the campaign — anyone who doesn't raise money still gets the garment with the logo on the front and their name on the back, charged at the standard garment price ($70 tee / $90 hoodie).

Of course — if you'd rather collect funds your own way and just order printed garments, contact us and we'll get you sorted.

Once your campaign ends or sells out, we transfer the funds to your nominated bank account — the total raised, less the garment cost and card processing fees. You'll receive a breakdown showing exactly how the payout was calculated.

Yes — contact us any time before payout and we'll update it.

Donations appear as Game Changer on card statements — payments are processed securely by Stripe.

Supporters receive an email confirmation of their payment. For an official donation receipt, they should contact the club or organisation they supported directly.

Yes — payments are processed by Stripe, so supporters can pay with cards from most countries, including Australia, the UK, the US and beyond. All amounts are in New Zealand dollars.

No — donations are final. The money is raised for the team or person you chose to support and is paid out to them. You'll see a clear summary before you pay, so please check the details carefully. If a genuine error occurs, contact us straight away and we'll do our best to help before printing begins.

Garments are printed after your campaign ends or fills. Typical turnaround is 3 weeks from that point to delivery.

Once a campaign has raised funds it can't be cancelled. Clubs and schools are responsible for the garment cost ($70 per tee, $90 per hoodie) if the funds raised don't cover it.

Donations are not refunded to supporters — any funds raised are paid to the club or school, and it's their choice whether to return money to donors.
