Online Shopping - Your organization can choose to add an online store, with hundreds of assorted items and donation options, along with your brochure fundraiser to raise even more money. Online sales will provide you with a larger market of supporters throughout the United States. Our online store will make it easy for your participants to reach out to their family and friends. If you would like to include online sales we will set up an account for you and create a participant letter you can distribute in-person, or send by email to your participants. Your supporters can choose to have their order shipped to your organization along with your brochure sales order or they can choose to have their order shipped directly to their home.

Sometimes, youth organizations need a little boost to excite them about fundraising. That is why our Heartland Goodies & Gifts fundraising program offers the best selection of products available in the industry PLUS a fun and rewarding prize program to help you reach your fundraising goal.
Our Tons of Prizes program is reserved for elementary-middle school-age children and includes some of the coolest prizes you'll find anywhere, and kids will love them. Tons of Prizes is an accumulative prize program offered free to keep your participants motivated and to reward them for a job well done! Setting a goal to earn a higher price level will keep your participants focused, motivated, and selling.
Our Tons of Prizes program is available on orders submitted as packed-by-seller for youth organizations only and not for bulk orders. Individual student/participant order forms can't be combined to qualify for higher-level prizes, and we reserved the right to not ship prizes if the organization abuses the purpose of the prize program.
Explain your fundraising goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. We suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts to purchase directly with the seller and/or share the link to purchase online. With traditional brochure sales, ask your sellers to collect sales by showing the brochure to your co-workers, friends, and family. Supporters can pay your organization by cash or check. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.
After your traditional brochure selling period (we recommend 2-3 weeks) collect the order forms and money from your sellers. Money is deposited in your organization's account, and the order forms are submitted to us for processing. We will provide you with a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms. There are no case requirements for Heartland Goodies & Gifts fundraiser! Order only what you sell!
