Hybrid Online Fundraising (also called Hybrid Home Delivery fundraising) combines the best parts of traditional fundraising with the convenience of online ordering. Your sellers still hand out catalog packets, but supporters shop, order, and pay online. Items are then delivered directly to the purchaser’s home (or shipped to your organization, depending on the program).
That means no cash to collect, no paper order forms to track, and far less time spent sorting and distributing products. You simply pass out the packets, share your online link, and track results online while Midland handles the heavy lifting.
Getting started is quick and easy. Just fill out our online “Schedule Now” form, and our team will help you choose the right catalog, set your dates, and get everything ready to launch. Prefer to talk it through? Give us a call and we’ll walk you through the best hybrid online fundraising option for your school, team, or organization.
The biggest difference is how supporters shop and how orders are fulfilled:
Hybrid Online Fundraising: Sellers hand out catalog packets, but supporters place and pay for orders online. Products are typically delivered directly to the purchaser’s home (or shipped to your organization, depending on the program). This option is built to reduce paperwork, avoid cash handling, and keep the fundraiser super organized.
Virtual Online Fundraising: Everything is promoted and shared digitally only (no packets required). Supporters shop through your online fundraiser link, and orders are handled online. This is a great fit when you want a fully online fundraiser that’s easy to share with out-of-town family and friends.
If you want, I can also tighten this further once we confirm how you define “Virtual” on your site (some pages use “virtual” to mean “no packets,” while others treat it as “online + group delivery”).
Almost! Most Midland Fundraising catalogs can be run as a Hybrid Online Fundraiser, with supporters ordering and paying online and products shipping directly to the customer (or to your chosen delivery location, depending on the program).
The one exception is Cookie Dough, which is not available in our hybrid home delivery format. All other Midland catalogs are available for hybrid online fundraising.
Most groups can launch their Hybrid Online Fundraiser in about 1–2 weeks, depending on your location and shipping time. Once you schedule, we’ll prep your fundraiser details and get your seller packets shipped out as quickly as possible so you can start promoting and collecting online orders right away.
Nope — there are no minimum order or sales requirements with Midland Fundraising. Our hybrid online fundraising programs are flexible for groups of all sizes, whether you’re a small team raising a few hundred dollars or a large school aiming for a big goal. Everyone can participate and succeed without worrying about minimums.
Our top earners for a Hybrid Online Fundraiser are Holiday Wishes, Spring in Bloom, and Popcorn & Candy. These programs consistently perform well because they’re easy to share, have strong customer appeal, and work great with online ordering and home delivery.
Holiday Wishes: A favorite for fall and winter fundraising — giftable items, seasonal energy, and lots of “I’m already shopping anyway” purchases.
Spring in Bloom: Perfect for spring campaigns when families are ready for something fresh and fun (and it’s a great timing window before summer).
Popcorn & Candy: A classic crowd-pleaser with broad appeal for schools and teams — easy to promote and easy for supporters to buy.
Not sure which one fits your group best? We can recommend the best catalog based on your dates, audience, and fundraising goal.
You’ll have support from day one. Midland Fundraising provides automated email updates and reminders to keep your fundraiser on track, plus a dedicated team you can reach out to for help before, during, and after your sale. We’ll guide you through setup, promotion, tracking, and wrap-up so your hybrid online fundraiser runs smoothly and stays stress-free.
Yes! Midland Fundraising offers flexible options so you can customize your product selection and build a fundraiser that fits your group’s audience. We’ll help you choose the best mix based on your goals, season, and what your supporters are most likely to buy — so you can create an ideal hybrid online fundraiser that performs.
Yes! We provide everything you need to promote your fundraiser, including seller packets, promotional posters, and other ready-to-use selling materials. We also offer kickoff videos to help you launch strong and get students/families excited.
On top of that, Midland can help boost visibility by promoting your fundraiser through email and social media directly from our website, making it even easier to reach supporters and drive online orders.
Yes! Midland Fundraising offers seller prize programs to help motivate participants and boost participation. You can choose from our standard prize options or set up a customizable prize plan that fits your group’s goals. Prizes are a fun way to encourage sharing, increase sales momentum, and keep students and supporters engaged throughout the fundraiser.
Yes! Midland Fundraising offers a free Teacher Bonus / Teacher Reward Program to thank educators for helping coordinate and support a successful fundraiser. We truly value the time teachers put in to keep things organized, motivated, and moving — and this program is our way of recognizing their effort.
Yes — absolutely. Midland Fundraising works with groups of all sizes, from small teams and clubs to entire schools. You’ll still get the tools, guidance, and personalized support you need to run a successful hybrid online fundraiser, with flexible options that fit your timeline, audience, and fundraising goal.
Not many — and in many cases, you can run it solo. We know it’s not always easy to find extra help, so Midland’s Hybrid Online Fundraiser is designed to be simple enough for one coordinator to manage. With online ordering and payment, plus organized delivery options and real-time tracking, you can keep everything running smoothly without needing a big volunteer crew.
The best time to launch a Virtual Online Fundraiser is early in the season, before calendars get packed and holiday spending gets spread thin. Many groups see strong results when they start in late summer through early fall (think August–October) so families have time to share, supporters aren’t overwhelmed with other fundraisers yet, and you can build momentum well ahead of the busy holiday rush.
If you’re aiming for a holiday-themed sale, launching earlier rather than later also gives you more runway for promotion, reminders, and online ordering.
Not at all! While schools are a big part of what we do, Midland Fundraising works with all kinds of groups. We regularly support sports teams, booster clubs, PTAs/PTOs, youth organizations, churches, clubs, and nonprofits.
No matter your group type or size, we’ll tailor the fundraiser, resources, and support to fit your goals — so you can run a successful, stress-free fundraiser from start to finish.
If something arrives damaged or an item is missing, we’ll help make it right quickly. Just contact Midland Fundraising by phone or email with the order details and what went wrong, and we’ll work to resolve it as fast as possible — including sending a replacement when needed (typically within about a week, depending on shipping).
There isn’t one strict deadline — but signing up earlier gives you the smoothest setup and the best results. We do recommend scheduling in advance so we can prepare your fundraiser, get your materials ready (if needed), and help you launch with a strong promotion plan.
That said, we’re flexible and can often accommodate your timeline — so if you have a specific start date in mind, reach out and we’ll help you find the best schedule for your group.
No worries — schedules change, and we get it. If you need to adjust your fundraiser dates or cancel, just contact your Midland Fundraising rep as soon as possible. We’ll work with you to update your timeline, reschedule for a better window, or pause the fundraiser so you can restart when your group is ready. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is for us to shift materials, shipping, and online setup to match your new plan.
We offer fundraiser dates throughout the year, and we’ll work with you to choose the best window based on your group’s schedule, goals, and season. Whether you’re planning around school breaks, sports schedules, testing weeks, or community events, we’ll help you pick dates that give you the best chance to maximize participation and profit.
Momentum is everything — and we’ll help you keep it going. Midland Fundraising provides simple motivation strategies, seller incentives, and support tools that make it easy to keep students and families engaged from launch to finish.
A few proven ways to keep enthusiasm high:
Set a clear goal (and share progress updates weekly)
Use prize milestones (small rewards for early wins + bigger rewards for top sellers)
Run quick mini-challenges like “3 orders by Friday” or “share your link with 10 people”
Celebrate wins publicly (top seller shout-outs, class/team leaderboards)
Our team is here to support your campaign the whole way — so you’ll have guidance, resources, and encouragement to keep participation strong and hit your fundraising goals.
Yes! That’s one of the biggest perks of a hybrid online fundraiser. Friends and family anywhere in the U.S. can place an order online, and we can ship items directly to their home. It makes it super easy for out-of-town grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends to support your group without needing to live nearby.
You’ll have access to real-time tracking from day one. We’ll provide login details for your Coordinator Resources Portal, where you can monitor your fundraiser and watch sales come in live. After the fundraiser ends, we’ll also send you complete seller reports so you can review results, recognize top sellers, and wrap everything up easily.
Yes! Each participant receives a unique Seller ID, so they can log in and track their individual sales in real time. It’s a great motivator — sellers can see their progress, work toward prize goals, and keep sharing their fundraiser link to boost results.
Anyone who has your group’s Group ID can sign up as a seller and start supporting your fundraiser. That makes it easy for students, parents, relatives, staff, and supporters to join in, share the fundraiser link, and help your organization raise more.
You’ll receive a profit check mailed to the location of your choice within about 10 days after your orders are processed. We’ll also provide your final reports so you have everything you need for a clean, easy wrap-up.
Yes — online sales absolutely count toward prize eligibility. That means sellers can earn rewards whether supporters order from a brochure or shop through the online fundraiser link. After the fundraiser ends, prizes are shipped to your designated school or organization for easy distribution.
Sellers can track their progress anytime using their real-time online dashboard. Once they log in with their Seller ID, they’ll be able to view their individual sales performance, monitor progress toward goals and prizes, and stay motivated throughout the fundraiser.
As the fundraiser coordinator, you’ll be able to view detailed sales by participant inside your Coordinator Resources Portal. The dashboard gives you a clear breakdown of how many online sales each seller has made (and typically totals by seller as well), so you can track progress, spot who might need a boost, and recognize top sellers along the way.
Yes — we highly recommend it. When sellers register for online selling, it expands your fundraiser’s reach beyond local buyers and makes it much easier to share with friends and family (even out of town). Online selling also simplifies the process for families since supporters can order and pay online, which usually leads to more participation and higher total sales for your group.
Yes! Your fundraiser is tied to a unique Group ID. Sellers use that Group ID to create their own personalized fundraising link, so they can share it with friends and family and track their individual sales. We include simple step-by-step instructions in your seller/parent letter so everyone knows exactly how to set it up.
You’re not on your own. Midland Fundraising’s customer support team is available to help with any online selling issues — from login questions to order or checkout trouble. Just reach out, and we’ll work to resolve it quickly so your fundraiser stays smooth, stress-free, and on track.
Your online shop typically closes when your fundraiser ends. However, we can often adjust the close date if you need a little extra time or want your campaign to better match your schedule. Just let us know your preferred timeline, and we’ll help set the shop window to fit your group’s needs.
Your Group ID is included in your instructional letter and welcome materials — and it’s often sent to you by email as well (so check your inbox). If you can’t find it, no worries — just reach out to Midland Fundraising and we’ll help you locate it quickly.
Yes — we can help with that. Our system allows sales credit to be allocated between multiple participants, which is perfect for shared sellers (like siblings) or teamwork-based fundraising. If you want to split credit for specific orders, just reach out to our team and we’ll guide you through the best way to set it up so everyone gets recognized fairly.
The easiest way is to have each seller share their personalized fundraising link on Facebook and Instagram. Once sellers register, they can use our social media tools and instructions to quickly copy and post their store link — making it simple for friends and family to shop online and support your cause.
A few tips that boost clicks and sales:
Post early and often: Share at kickoff, mid-sale, and during the final 48 hours.
Use a photo or short video: A quick “Here’s what we’re raising money for” post performs great.
Add a clear call-to-action: “Order here” + the link (or link in bio).
Share to Stories: Stories are perfect for quick reminders and countdowns.
Pin the post: Pin your fundraiser post to the top of Facebook so it stays visible.
This approach increases visibility, drives engagement, and helps you reach a wider audience — including out-of-town supporters — all while keeping ordering and payment online.
The best way to boost online sales is to make it easy to click, easy to share, and easy to remember. A simple mix of social posts, personal messages, and a few reminders usually drives the biggest results.
Here are the top strategies that work fast:
Share your direct store link everywhere: Facebook, Instagram, Stories, and community groups (when allowed). Always include the clickable link or “link in bio.”
Send personal texts (highly effective): Text your link to friends and family with a quick note like: “Hey! Can you help support our fundraiser? Ordering takes 2 minutes.”
Use personalized emails: Email relatives, coworkers, neighbors, and out-of-town family. A personal message beats a generic blast every time.
Post engaging content: Add a photo of the team/class, your goal thermometer, or a quick 10-second video explaining what you’re raising money for.
Create urgency: Post reminders at key times — kickoff day, midway point, and especially the last 48 hours (“Last chance to order!”).
Ask for shares: “If you can’t order, could you share our link?” Shares expand your reach instantly.
If you want, I can also write 3–5 ready-to-copy text messages + social captions for sellers to use (kickoff, mid-sale, and last-call).
Yes! Our platform supports mass emailing, so you can quickly share your fundraiser with a large audience all at once. It’s a great way to spread the word fast, boost participation, and drive more online orders — especially when you send a kickoff email, a mid-fundraiser reminder, and a “last chance” message before the shop closes.
Online orders are shipped directly to the shipping address the buyer enters at checkout. We deliver within the contiguous United States, so supporters can have items sent right to their home (or wherever they choose) for a simple, streamlined delivery experience.
Yes! In your Coordinator Resources Portal, you can monitor your online sales activity in real time — including insights into where sales are coming from. This makes it easier to see what’s working (social posts, emails, specific sellers, etc.) so you can focus your promotion and keep sales growing.
You can see your totals in real time. Our Coordinator Resources Portal updates continuously, so you can check sales whenever you want — daily, hourly, or even “refresh like it’s game day.” This makes it easy to track progress toward your fundraising goal and know exactly where things stand throughout the campaign.
Yes — in many cases, we can. Our hybrid/online fundraising programs are built to be flexible, so if you’re close to your goal and want a little more time, contact Midland Fundraising and we’ll work with you to extend your fundraiser dates when possible. That way you can keep momentum going and finish strong.
Registration is quick and easy. Just follow the step-by-step instructions in the letter included in your packet — it will walk you through everything (including your Group ID).
You can also register online here: https://fundraisingshoppingcart.com/register/
Once your student is registered, they’ll be able to start sharing their personalized fundraiser link and tracking sales online.
We’ll help you set a goal that’s realistic, motivating, and actually achievable. Based on our fundraising experience, we’ll work with you to estimate what your group can raise using factors like your group size, your timeline, the catalog you choose, and how you plan to promote online.
Together, we’ll build a goal that aligns with your needs — and then we’ll share simple tips to track progress and keep momentum strong throughout the fundraiser.
Midland makes the money side simple and transparent. When your fundraiser ends, we’ll total everything up and only bill you for what’s due to Midland based on your program.
If your online credits (online sales) are greater than any cash collected: you’ll receive a profit check from Midland within about 10 business days after orders are processed, mailed to the location of your choice.
If there’s a balance due to Midland: we’ll send a simple invoice for the remaining amount. This keeps your fundraising profit clear and easy to track while we wrap up the final totals.
Either way, we’ll provide the reporting you need so you can see exactly how your fundraiser performed and close everything out smoothly.
Your profit with Midland Fundraising depends on a few key factors — mainly which program/catalog you choose, how many sellers participate, how actively your group shares online, and your past fundraising performance (if you’ve run one before).
The good news: our hybrid online fundraising programs are built to be high-profit and low-stress, and we’ll help you set realistic expectations based on your group size, timeline, and goals. For the most accurate estimate, the best next step is to talk with one of our fundraising specialists — we can give you a clear breakdown of potential earnings and recommend the best program for the strongest return.
In most cases, you’ll receive your funds within a few weeks of your fundraiser ending, once orders are processed and final totals are confirmed. For many online/hybrid programs, profit checks are often mailed within about 10 business days after processing (to the location you choose), so you’re not waiting around forever to access your fundraising results.
Supporters can pay online using major debit and credit cards. Midland’s checkout is designed to be quick and secure, making it easy for buyers to complete orders and helping your fundraiser convert more sales.
In most cases, payment is collected at the time the order is placed, which is what Midland recommends. Collecting payment with orders keeps everything clean and organized, helps prevent missing payments, and makes delivery and final reporting much smoother.
If you have a unique situation and need a different approach, we can talk through options — but paying at checkout is typically the easiest and most accurate method.
Yes. There’s no “all-or-nothing” requirement. Your group earns profit on the sales you do make, so every order still contributes to your fundraiser total. Even if you don’t hit your original goal, you’ll still receive the funds your organization earned from the campaign.
Typically, the profit per item stays the same, but your total profit increases as you sell more. So while the margin doesn’t usually change per product, higher sales volume means a bigger overall payout for your group.
Midland Fundraising keeps pricing straightforward and transparent. In most cases, you’ll only be billed for the product costs owed to Midland, plus any flat-rate shipping charges that apply to your specific program.
A few helpful notes:
Many of our fundraising programs include free shipping, depending on the catalog and delivery setup.
If shipping does apply, it’s typically a clear, flat-rate charge (not surprise fees).
Before your fundraiser begins, we’ll make sure you have the terms in writing so you know exactly what to expect.
Bottom line: no hidden fees — just a clean breakdown so your group can fundraise with confidence.
Yes! You’ll be able to track your fundraiser in real time through our online platform. As sales come in, you can continuously monitor totals, view progress toward your goal, and stay on top of your campaign’s performance — so you always know exactly how things are going.
The secret is keeping it simple, fun, and goal-focused — and making sharing as easy as possible. Midland helps with all of that through incentives, resources, and online tools that keep sellers motivated.
Here are the best ways to boost student sales:
Use clear goals + mini-goals: Give kids a simple target like “5 orders this week” or “$100 by Friday.” Small wins build momentum fast.
Make prizes visible: Incentives work best when students know exactly what they’re working toward (and when prize milestones are easy to hit).
Create friendly competition: Class vs. class, grade vs. grade, or team leaderboard. Even a simple “Top 5 sellers” update keeps excitement high.
Help them start with their inner circle: Encourage each student to text or call 10–15 people first (grandparents, aunts/uncles, neighbors, family friends).
Make sharing effortless: Sellers can quickly share their personal store link through Facebook/Instagram, email, and text message — the easier it is, the more they’ll do it.
Celebrate progress publicly: Shoutouts in announcements, newsletters, or social posts motivate everyone (not just the top sellers).
You can absolutely do that. With Midland’s Hybrid Online Fundraiser, you can choose the delivery method that works best for your group. Products can be shipped directly to each buyer’s address or shipped to one central location (like your school or organization) for you to distribute.
Just let us know your preference when you schedule your fundraiser, and we’ll set it up the way that fits your timeline and volunteers.
If something arrives damaged or an item is missing, we’ll help make it right quickly. Just submit the issue through our online support form (or contact our team with the order details), and we’ll work to resolve it as fast as possible — typically by sending a replacement or issuing a refund when appropriate. Our goal is to keep the process easy and minimize any inconvenience for your supporters.
Most orders are delivered within about 2–3 weeks after your fundraiser ends, depending on the program and shipping timelines. We aim for a quick turnaround, and when tracking is available, we’ll provide tracking details so you can monitor progress and plan for delivery (whether items are going to individual homes or a central location).
Yes. When tracking is available, customers receive shipping/tracking information for their online orders so they can follow the shipment and estimate the delivery date. It keeps the process transparent and helps supporters know exactly when to expect their items.
If your fundraiser is set up for central delivery, your order will arrive sorted and labeled by seller to make distribution quick and easy. When prizes apply, those are included as well, so everything you need shows up organized and ready to hand out.
Orders can be shipped in the way that works best for your group. You can choose to have items sent directly to each purchaser’s address or shipped to a central location (like your school, church, or organization) for distribution. We’ll set this up based on how you structure your hybrid online fundraiser.
Yes — home delivery is available for many of our fundraising programs. Supporters can have items shipped directly to the address they choose, which makes ordering super convenient and helps your fundraiser run with less sorting and distribution work.

Hand out your packets and share your online link — then use these 3 quick tips to boost participation and make fundraising simple.
Hybrid online fundraising is the best of both worlds: the energy and personal touch of traditional fundraising, plus the convenience of online ordering and digital sharing. For schools, PTOs/PTOs, sports teams, and community groups, a hybrid online fundraiser makes it easier to reach more supporters — without drowning in cash envelopes, paper forms, or distribution chaos.
With Midland Fundraising, your group can run a fundraiser that’s simple to manage, easy for families to share, and designed to drive strong results. You hand out the catalog packs, supporters shop online, and orders are delivered to the home or your organization (depending on the program). Translation: less stress, more participation, and more profit.
A traditional fundraiser depends on who someone sees in person. A fully online fundraiser depends on people actually noticing links and posts. Hybrid fundraising combines both — so you get the face-to-face momentum and the online reach.
It’s especially effective because:
Families can share the fundraiser link with out-of-town friends and relatives
Supporters can order from anywhere, anytime (mobile-friendly!)
Online checkout reduces mistakes, missing payments, and paper tracking
Home delivery (or organized group delivery) keeps fulfillment simple.
If you want a fundraiser that’s proven, familiar, and easy to kick off, start here. An online catalog fundraiser gives supporters a real “shopping experience” while keeping everything organized behind the scenes.
How to make it work even better:
Send students home with catalog packs so families can flip through options
Add a QR code on flyers so supporters can shop online instantly
Post a weekly “Top Sellers” update to keep momentum up
Use a 48-hour “last chance to order” reminder to boost final-week sales
This format works well for schools, booster clubs, sports teams, and any group that needs a stress-free fundraiser that doesn’t require collecting money.
Want to increase your total raised without adding complexity? Pair your product sale with an optional donation ask.
Example: “If you can’t order, consider donating $10 to support our goal.”
It’s a simple add-on, and it helps supporters participate even if they’re on a budget — or already have a freezer full of cookie dough.
Hybrid fundraising is perfect for social media because you can promote it in-person and keep it moving online.
Post ideas that perform:
Student/team photo + “Help us reach our goal!” link
Short video: “Here’s what we’re fundraising for”
Countdown posts during the last week
“Tag a grandparent” post (no joke — these get shares)
Pro tip: keep your fundraising link in one place (bio link or pinned post), so people don’t have to hunt for it.
You don’t need a giant event to make fundraising exciting. Add a simple challenge that encourages participation:
“Every seller who gets 5 orders gets a prize!”
“Top 3 sellers win a bonus reward”
“If we hit our goal by Friday, we earn a spirit day!”
Hybrid fundraisers do best when there’s a reason to share right now — and a little friendly competition goes a long way.
Most fundraisers don’t fail because people aren’t interested — they fail because people forget.
Use short reminders like:
“We’re live! Shop our hybrid fundraiser today.”
“One week left — we’re so close to our goal!”
“Last day to order!”
Even just 2–3 well-timed reminders can seriously lift total sales.
Hybrid fundraising makes it easier for families to involve local supporters — without awkward sales conversations.
Great community partners include:
local businesses (share your link with staff/customers)
churches and community groups
family friends who don’t live nearby
Because it’s online, supporters can order quickly, and your group isn’t stuck coordinating individual drop-offs.
One of the biggest benefits of a hybrid online fundraiser is being able to see results as they happen.
When coordinators can track progress in real time, it’s easier to:
motivate sellers with updates
spot slow days and post a quick reminder
keep leadership confident that the fundraiser is on pace
It turns fundraising into something you can manage — not something you just hope works.
The final week is where most fundraisers get messy. With Midland’s hybrid approach, the finish is way smoother because:
orders are placed online (less error, less tracking)
there are no cash envelopes to reconcile
delivery is simplified with home delivery or organized sorting (depending on the program)
You wrap up, your group gets a profit check, and you don’t need a volunteer army to survive the final days.
Hybrid fundraising is popular for one simple reason: it works in the real world. Families are busy. Volunteers are stretched thin. Supporters want convenience. A hybrid online fundraiser gives you the structure of traditional fundraising with the flexibility of online sales — and it helps you reach more people with less stress.
If you want a fundraiser that’s easy to launch, easy to manage, and easy for supporters to shop, Midland Fundraising is ready to help you run your most organized (and profitable) fundraiser yet.
