I think that the brochure had a great variety of items for sale which would appeal to a greater group of people. Most of it was reasonably priced.

We did the Just Chillin catalog sales and it worked well. This was our first year with your company. I liked how the order forms made duplicates so I didn't have to copy them before I sent them in. I also liked that I could scan and email our order. The previous company we used made us mail them, which cost about $7! I liked how you packaged each individual person's sold items in a box (most of them anyway). I did NOT like the packing peanuts-too much to deal with/messy. I like paper or air-filled packing better.

Your company did take quite a bit longer to get our items to us. The previous company we used shipped the items to us within a week of receiving our order, so we usually got things about 2 weeks after sending in the order. This year, we received our packages exactly 4 weeks after I emailed the order to you. The items were all of good quality and I liked the reward system.

Start Your Fall Fundraiser With No Upfront Payment

Raise money for student programs, classroom supplies, or school improvements with products families can buy for the season. Our fall fundraising ideas for schools include four catalog programs with holiday gifts, wrapping paper, candles, and treats. Items start at $10 and no upfront payment is required.

Compare the catalogs above by products, prices, and what your group earns. Each program offers brochure and online selling, plus materials and support to help you run the sale. Select View Program to check the details, then Start Fundraiser to send your request.

Choose a Catalog and Start Collecting Orders

Choose your fall catalog and select Start Fundraiser. We help confirm your dates and arrange the brochures, order forms, and seller materials for your group. Review the selected program’s profit rates, supply requirements, and delivery terms before you begin.

Give participants their catalogs and online selling instructions. Families can collect brochure orders locally and share their shopping links with friends and relatives. Collect payment with brochure orders; online shoppers pay when they place their orders. Set a clear deadline and explain what the proceeds will fund.

After the sale, submit your brochure orders for processing. We provide a sales report and invoice and help schedule your group delivery. Pay the invoice from the money collected and keep the balance. Online earnings are credited or paid according to your program’s terms.

Student show teacher school fundraising brochureGet Seller Materials and Help Through Delivery

Our fall school fundraisers include the materials your participants need to begin: catalogs, order forms, and instructions for selling online. Choose an available prize program to give students another reason to take part, and introduce the sale with a clear school goal.

Your online dashboard lets you follow online participation and sales during the fundraiser. Keep brochure order forms together for submission at the end of the sale. Our team can answer questions about setting up the program, placing orders, and preparing for delivery.

Group orders arrive packed by seller, so volunteers can distribute them without sorting every item into individual orders. Before you launch, confirm the delivery schedule and any shipping or service charges for your selected program. Need a sale with fewer distribution tasks? Ask about an online-only option.

What Your School Gets With Our Fall Fundraisers

Choose a fall product fundraiser with selling materials, online ordering, and support from setup through delivery. Here is what your group can use to run the sale:

  • Products Families Can Use or Give: Sell holiday gifts, wrapping paper, kitchen items, and treats. Supporters can buy for their own homes or gift lists while helping your school.
  • A Choice of Catalogs and Price Ranges: Compare four fall programs with different selections and starting prices. Pick the mix that suits the people your students will ask to buy from.
  • Group Orders Packed by Seller: Spend less time sorting individual products. Each participant’s group order arrives packed for distribution.
  • Prize Programs for Student Sellers: Choose an available incentive program to recognize participation and give students a reason to keep sharing their fundraiser.
  • Delivery Options You Can Check Before Starting: Review group delivery and home shipping choices on the program page. Free-shipping eligibility, minimums, and extra service charges depend on the program and order.
  • An Online Store Alongside Your Brochures: Let out-of-town friends and family shop from a link. Your dashboard shows online sales and participation while your group also takes brochure orders.
  • Help from Setup through Delivery: Work with our customer care team on program selection, sale preparation, orders, and delivery questions. You have a contact when your coordinator needs help.
  • No Upfront Payment to Launch: Start collecting orders before paying for products. Check your chosen program’s supply requirements and any applicable fees before confirming your sale.

Questions About Online Fundraisers

Questions
Which fall fundraiser is best for our school?
Answer

Start with the products your supporters want to buy, then compare prices and earnings. The four programs above offer different gift and treat selections. View the catalog and use its profit calculator to see how a sales target could support your goal.

Questions
How long does a brochure sale last?
Answer

A two-week selling period gives families time to shop and share the fundraiser. Allow additional time for setup and delivery. Our team can help you confirm the schedule before catalogs go home.

Questions
Which fall catalog should we choose?
Answer

Compare 'Tis the Season and Magical Holidays for broad holiday selections, Heartland Goodies & Gifts for familiar treats and gifts, and Winter Wonderland for Yankee Candles. Select View Program above to see each brochure, starting prices, and profit terms.

Questions
How much money can our school raise?
Answer

Your earnings depend on how many participants sell, how much they sell, and the products ordered. Use the calculator on your selected program page to estimate a sales goal, then account for product-specific profit rates and applicable fees. The estimate is not a guaranteed result.

Questions
Should we sell early in fall or closer to the holidays?
Answer

Choose dates that fit your school calendar and give supporters time to order for seasonal occasions. Check the setup, order, and delivery schedule with us before announcing holiday arrival dates. An earlier request gives your group more time to prepare.

Questions
What help do we get with our fall fundraiser?
Answer

We provide seller materials, online selling instructions, and help with program and order questions. You can use available prize programs to encourage participation and track online sales in your dashboard. Group orders arrive packed by seller to help with distribution.

Questions
Are there lower-priced products for our supporters?
Answer

Yes. Magical Holidays and Winter Wonderland include gift items from $10, 'Tis the Season starts at $11, and Heartland Goodies & Gifts starts at $12. View the current catalogs to compare the full selection and prices.

Questions
Is there a cost to start a fall fundraiser?
Answer

These brochure programs require no upfront payment. Collect money with brochure orders, then pay your invoice after the orders are processed. Supply, shipping, or processing charges may apply depending on the program and sales. Review those terms before you start.

Questions
Can our school sell only online?
Answer

Yes. Compare our online fundraising options for a sale that lets supporters order and pay online. Choose a program with direct-to-buyer shipping if your group wants to avoid distributing those orders, and review its earnings and shipping terms.

Questions
How do brochure and online orders work together?
Answer

Participants take brochure orders from local supporters and share online shopping links with others. Submit brochure orders at the end of the sale; online orders are recorded in the dashboard. Online earnings are credited or paid according to your chosen program.

Questions
How are fundraiser orders delivered?
Answer

Group orders arrive packed by seller. Group delivery is generally three to four weeks after we receive order forms; confirm your program’s schedule before setting a pickup date. Online shoppers can use the shipping options available through that program.

Questions
How can we check for gluten-free fundraising products?
Answer

Check the ingredient and dietary information for each product before ordering. Selections and labels vary, so a food catalog should not be treated as entirely gluten-free. Contact our team with the product name if you need help finding product details.

Questions
What profit does each fall program offer?
Answer

Heartland offers 40% profit on standard sales. 'Tis the Season and Magical Holidays offer 40% on most products, 20% on personalized items and clothing, and 35% on Tervis items. Winter Wonderland pays $11 per Yankee Candle and 40% on other items. Check program pages for fees and alternative selling or delivery terms.

Questions
What is a fall fundraiser?
Answer

A fall fundraiser raises money during the autumn season. With our catalog programs, schools earn money by selling gifts, home items, wrapping paper, and treats. Select a program above to see what your supporters can buy and what your group can earn.

Questions
Can we use a catalog fundraiser at a fall festival?
Answer

Yes. Show families the catalog, take brochure orders, and share the online shopping link at your existing event. Pair the display with your school’s fundraising goal and order deadline. Catalog orders are fulfilled later, so confirm delivery timing before promoting them.

Questions
How can our fall fundraiser stand out?
Answer

Choose a catalog that fits your supporters and show a few products at different prices. Tell families what their purchases will fund, and make the brochure and online ordering options clear. Our team can help you compare programs before you send your request.

Elementary school students at a Halloween partySell Locally and Reach Supporters Online

Give supporters more than one way to buy while keeping orders and payment organized. Use the selling options and materials included with your program:

  • Offer both brochures and online shopping so supporters can choose how to order.
  • Use the online store to reach friends and relatives who cannot browse a catalog in person.
  • Collect payment with brochure orders so the money is ready when your group receives its invoice.
  • Check online sales in the dashboard and ask participants about their brochure orders to follow progress.
  • Share the closing date and send a final reminder while supporters still have time to buy.
  • Use your chosen prize program or school-approved bonus drawings to encourage students to keep sharing.
  • Keep extra incentives within budget; group privileges can recognize participation without another purchase.

Turn Your Fall Festival Into Catalog Orders

Looking for fall festival fundraiser ideas that connect to a product sale? Bring your catalog program to an event families already attend. A display lets supporters browse gifts and treats while learning what their purchases will fund.

Place catalogs near an existing pumpkin-decorating activity, game area, or school gathering. Highlight a few products at different prices, take brochure orders, and share the online shopping link for families who prefer to order later. Display the order deadline.

Use Halloween gatherings or seasonal food events to introduce available treats, then show gifts and wrapping paper as holiday shopping approaches. You are taking catalog orders for later fulfillment, so use the confirmed delivery schedule when discussing arrival dates.

For easy fall fundraisers without an added event, choose a catalog and let families shop from home. Your school can sell through brochures and online with the same product program. Compare the four options above and choose the format your volunteers can manage.

Sell Holiday Gifts, Gift Wrap, and Everyday Favorites

Give supporters several reasons to shop in one fundraiser. Our fall catalogs combine seasonal gifts with practical home items and treats so that families can buy for themselves and for people on their gift lists.

Compare Heartland Goodies & Gifts and 'Tis the Season for kitchen accessories, household products, and treats. You can also view the holiday gifts in Magical Holidays before choosing your catalog.

Want a wrapping paper fundraiser with more choice? Offer gift wrap alongside candles, food gifts, and home items in the same sale. Review the current brochure to check designs, prices, and available products.

Compare Fall Catalogs by Products and Prices

Choose a catalog that matches your supporters’ shopping lists and budgets. Compare the starting prices, product mix, and profit terms before you request your program.

Heartland Goodies & Gifts offers items from $12 to $38 and treats from familiar brands, with 40% on standard sales. Choose it for a mix of snacks, home items, and gifts. For Yankee Candles, compare Winter Wonderland, which pays $11 per candle and 40% on other items.

'Tis the Season offers holiday gifts and wrapping paper from $11. For another seasonal assortment starting at $10, compare Magical Holidays, including its scented candles and gifts. Both programs offer 40% profit on most products, with exceptions listed on their program pages.

Choose Your Program and Start Your Fall Fundraiser

Choose the catalog's products your families are most likely to buy, then turn that choice into a sale for your school. Whether you are funding classroom resources, student activities, or a trip, you can offer printed catalogs and online ordering through the same program.

Select View Program above to review your preferred brochure, earnings, and terms. Ready to begin? Select Start Fundraiser on that card to send your request. If you need help choosing, contact our team with your group size, fundraising goal, and preferred dates.

More Ideas for Online Fundraisers

Work backward from the amount your school wants to raise. Use your selected program’s profit calculator to compare a sales target with expected participation, then check the rates for the products your supporters are likely to order.

For example, $5,000 in sales at 40% would yield $2,000 before applicable fees. Actual earnings depend on products sold, participation, and program terms. Compare the profit details before choosing the fundraiser and setting a goal.

A gift wrap fundraiser can offer more than paper. Our fall catalogs include combinations of wrapping paper, candles, kitchen accessories, household items, and seasonal treats. The mix differs by program, and online stores provide additional choices.

Open the current brochure from each program card to compare products and prices. Choose a selection that gives your supporters useful purchases at several price points, then use those examples when introducing the sale to families.

Use printed brochures for face-to-face selling and online shopping links to reach friends and relatives farther away. The four catalog programs above support both methods, so your group can offer more than one way to order.

For brochure sales, participants collect orders and payment, and your group coordinates the final submission and distribution. Online shoppers place their own orders and pay through the store. Check each program’s shipping choices and how online earnings are paid or credited.

Prefer an online-only sale? Review the online fundraising options and choose a program with delivery terms your group can manage. Ask our team to help compare that format with a brochure-and-online program before you start.

Give families the catalog, the online selling instructions, and a clear reason to participate. Show a few products they can buy for upcoming occasions, explain what the proceeds will fund, and include the order deadline in school newsletters and sale reminders.

Ask participants to share their shopping links with friends and relatives who want to help. Your online store gives supporters another way to buy, and your coordinator can track online sales during the fundraiser.
