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. 

Heartland Spring Fundraiser - Virtual and Brochure Fundraising

  • 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!  

  • Cut-Off Dates - We highly suggest starting a fall fundraiser early in the season. Significantly higher participation and higher sales are achieved with September fundraisers. Sales decrease with each week closer to the end of the year. Start early to allow enough time to complete your fundraiser and for the brochure order forms to be received before the following cut-off dates. Order forms should be submitted by the dates below.
    Easter: For delivery prior to Easter Sunday, orders forms need to be returned by the week of March 6th for delivery the week of April 3rd.
    Mother's Day: For delivery prior to Mother's Day, orders forms need to be returned by the week of April 10th for delivery the week of May 8th. 
    End of School Year/Spring Sports Season: Allow up to 3-4 weeks plus transit time after order forms have been received for data entry to be completed, the order to be packed, shipped, and delivered. 
    Thanksgiving: For delivery prior to Thanksgiving, orders forms need to be returned by the week of October 16th for delivery the week BEFORE the week of November 20th.
    Christmas: For delivery prior to Christmas break, orders forms need to be returned by the week of November 13th for delivery the week of December 18th. 
    Oct-Dec delivery: Allow up to 4 weeks plus transit time after your order forms have been received for data entry to be completed, the order to be packed, shipped, and delivered.

We do accept purchase orders from public schools with 15 days payment agreement and will release your order to be shipped upon receipt of a valid purchase order. All orders with Heartland Goodies & Gifts are shipped packed by each seller.

  • Upon receipt of payment or purchase order, your order will be processed and the products will be shipped to you, packed by the seller, for distribution to your sellers.  

  • Your organization keeps the profit you earned upfront.  We will deduct your online sales profit from the amount due on your brochure sales.  Orders shipping directly to a customer's home will ship within a few days.
