Before diving into specific fundraising options, take a step back to evaluate your organization’s unique goals and constraints.
Determine a clear financial goal. Knowing whether you need $1,000 or $50,000 will shape your program choice.
A smaller team might benefit from simpler programs, while larger groups can handle more complex initiatives.
Time, energy, and community support all play a role in the type of fundraiser you can effectively run.
Pro Tip: Start with your audience. Understanding what will resonate with your supporters is key to maximizing participation and donations.
Midland Fundraising offers a variety of programs designed to fit the unique needs of every organization. Below, we showcase some of our most popular fundraisers:
A timeless classic, our catalogs feature items that people love, from gourmet cookie dough to holiday gifts and wrapping paper.
Catalog fundraisers are easy to set up, require no upfront costs, and are universally appealing to families, friends, and community members.
Supporters can shop conveniently online or through a printed catalog, making participation seamless.
Emphasize seasonal items for higher sales, such as holiday-themed gifts during November and December.
Our hybrid approach combines traditional sales with the convenience of online fundraising. Supporters can shop online via a custom website, increasing your fundraiser’s reach.
Ideal for busy families or groups with supporters across different locations. With online orders, there’s no need to handle cash or track physical forms.
Share your online link through social media, emails, and text messages to drive traffic.
Organizations using hybrid fundraisers typically see a 30% increase in participation compared to traditional methods alone.
Programs like walk-a-thons, read-a-thons, and donation drives are perfect for encouraging active involvement. Participants secure donations or pledges based on their activity, such as walking laps, reading books, or completing challenges.
Pledge-a-thons combine physical activity, community involvement, and fundraising in one event. They’re particularly popular with schools and sports teams.
Add incentives for participants, such as rewards for top performers or teams.
Looking for a quick and simple option? Direct sales offer products like candy bars, snack packs, or popcorn for immediate purchase.

Youth sports teams often sell candy bars at games to raise funds for equipment or travel expenses.

A unique option that combines practicality and eco-friendliness. Our stylish, reusable tote bags are great for promoting sustainability while raising funds.
Totes are lightweight, easy to sell, and appeal to a wide audience.
