You must receive permission from the copyright holder before you can use an image like that - for profit or not.
But it just means permission, not necessarily that you have to PAY for the use of the image. If your cause is sincere and you have the legal non-profit status, they may be willing to let you use the image without charge.

NO. My friend's brother made bumper stickers for a nonprofit organization in New Orleans, and he used a copyrighted image on the stickers. The owners of the copyright send him a cease and desist notice, and said they might sue. However, when they found out it was going to charity (and that he was only 16 years old), they said they wouldn't sue, but he still had to stop.

Not without the creator's permission (in this case, the estate of Dr. Seuss).
Doesn't matter if you're profiting or not. You still have to get permission to use it.

Nope. You can still be hassled by the copyright holder.

i think you can bc you are not selling it or anything but i would check into it first and maybe if you put somewhere on it where you got the image from then i think it might be ok.

no you cannot unless you pay for use of the photo to the original photographer or who ever now owns the photo.
