A friendly custom mascot for your nonprofit, made to order for fundraisers, fun runs and community events.
Masticot.com makes custom mascot costumes for charities, foundations and nonprofits. Each mascot is made to order from your logo or an idea, in your colors. Production takes about 10 working days after you approve the design, then the costume ships with tracking. For US orders, customs fees are shown in your quote and at checkout.
Why does a nonprofit benefit from a mascot?
A mascot makes a cause approachable. Children and families come to say hello, take a photo and listen, which opens the door to talking about your mission. At fundraising events, the mascot gives donors a moment to remember and share.
Because the character carries your colors and logo, it becomes a recognizable face for your organization from one event to the next. Our articles on making fundraising messages more approachable and supporting donor engagement give concrete examples.
How does ordering a charity mascot work?
- Send your logo or idea through the quote form, with your colors and the date of your next event.
- Approve the design. The optional 2D sketch lets your board approve the character before production.
- Production takes about 10 working days after approval.
- Tracked delivery: shipping time depends on the destination and carrier, for example about 5 working days with free shipping or 3 to 4 working days with express services.
What makes a good charity mascot?
- A gentle, friendly character that children are happy to approach.
- Your colors and logo, so photos keep your organization visible.
- Soft materials: high-density foam structure with durable, breathable fabrics and plush trims.
- Sizes from S to XXXL for volunteers about 5'3" to 6'5" (1.60 m to 1.95 m), plus a child size.
