Snacks fundraiser - Cashless, Virtual, and Brochures with Online Sales Options
BROCHURE FUNDRAISER: You can choose a traditional brochure fundraiser and, with it, offer an online store. Supporters can choose from two shipping options: ship-to-home and ship-to-group. Fundraisers who combine brochure sales with online sales achieve higher sales. For online sales that ship to the supporter's home, shipping is free on orders of $99 or more, and orders ship within 7 business days. Orders shipped to the group are shipped free and ship at the end of the fundraiser. Profit is 40%.
CASHLESS / VIRTUAL FUNDRAISERS: Don't want to handle cash or product orders? We've got you covered! A promotional flyer is available for each seller to share with their supporters in person and/or via email, text, and social media posts. Supporters order online, pay by credit card, and have orders shipped to their homes within 7 business days. Profit is 40%.

How our Sweet & Savory Snack Fundraiser Works
Request your brochures - Call us at 860-384-3691, and we will complete your fundraiser agreement. We will ship one brochure, order form, and collection envelope for each of your participants, who will ask their family, friends, and neighbors to buy items from the brochure. Orders are taken, and payments are collected. We offer an electronic payment option for your supporters, in addition to cash sales.
Participant Letter - We will customize a participant letter to include your fundraising purpose, goal, closing date, to whom to make checks payable (if applicable), and the contact for any participant questions. The letter will also include steps to register as a seller, the online store URL, your Group ID, tips for promoting the fundraiser via email, text, and social media, and instructions for your customers to place orders.
Fundraising Goals - Review your goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. In addition to sharing the brochure with co-workers, friends, and family, we suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts, send texts, and post on all available social media channels to encourage direct purchases from the seller and/or to share the link to purchase online. Supporters can pay your organization by cash, check, or Cash App. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.
Promoting your Online Fundraising Store - Your organization can raise even more money with our online fundraising store by offering hundreds of items and donation options. Online sales will make it easy for your participants to contact family and friends, both locally and nationwide. We will set up an account for your organization, assign a unique Group ID for your store, and provide login credentials for your chairperson's dashboard. Your chairperson will invite participants to register as sellers by directing them to the online store, entering their Group ID, and clicking the registration link. Visit your chairperson's dashboard to track progress in real-time! Students will receive prize credit for their online sales.
Online Fundraising Shopping Options - Your supporters can have their order shipped to your organization along with the brochure sales order, or they can have it shipped directly to their homes. Your organization will earn a 40% profit on all online sales.
Student Success - The key to a successful online fundraiser is to ensure your students register as sellers and use multiple channels to invite their friends and family to shop in your online fundraising store. We highly recommend encouraging your participants to send messages on the first day of your sale. Because people are forgetful and may need to be asked more than once before purchasing, we recommend asking your participants to send emails and posts as reminders halfway through your sale. A "last chance to order" reminder should be sent a few days before your sale's end. As a chairperson, sending reminders to participants is key to a successful fundraiser.
After your traditional brochure-selling period (we recommend 2-3 weeks), collect the order forms and payment from your sellers. Deposit the funds into your organization's account and submit the order forms to us for processing. We will provide a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms, or you can email them back. There are no case requirements for our Heartland Sweet & Savory fundraiser! Order only what you sell!
Cut-Off Dates—We highly suggest starting a fall fundraiser early in the season. August and September fundraisers achieve significantly higher participation and sales, but sales decline each week as we approach year-end. 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 before Easter Sunday, order forms need to be returned by March 6th.
Mother's Day: Order forms must be returned by April 17th.
End of School Year/Spring Sports Season: Allow 3-4 weeks, plus transit time, after order forms are received for data entry to be completed and the order to be packed, shipped, and delivered.
Thanksgiving: Order forms must be returned by October 23rd.
Christmas: For delivery before Christmas break, order forms must be returned by November 13th.
Once data entry is complete, we'll email the sales reports and your invoice for the amount due. After reviewing the invoice, you can pay by mailing us a school/business check or money order along with a copy of your invoice. You can also call to pay by Visa or Mastercard. We accept purchase orders from public schools under a 15-day payment agreement and will release your order for shipment upon receipt of a valid purchase order. All orders from Heartland Goodies & Gifts are shipped in a single package for 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.

Shipping - Receive free shipping on orders of 400+ items.

Sales Reports/Invoice - Once data entry is complete, we'll email the sales reports and your invoice for the due amount.

Orders shipping directly to a customer's home will ship within a few days. For traditional brochure orders, we aim to ship your fundraising order within 4 to 5 weeks of payment. Shipping your order during the busiest season, October and November, may take additional time. Please allow an extra 3-5 days for transit once your order ships.
You can SIGN UP NOW to offer a Virtual, Direct Ship to Home only fundraiser. No one needs to sell face-to-face or use a brochure and order form.
