We are excited to announce the launch of our new platform for online fundraising raffles. 

A successful fundraising raffle has the capacity to produce high-profit margins with few upfront costs – making raffles a popular nonprofit and school fundraising strategy. Fundraising raffles are a great option for groups of any size and are an especially effective type of virtual fundraising. Great for COVID-19 fundraising!

Fundraising raffles are not legal in every state. States have exclusive rights to determine what is allowed and what is not in terms of gaming, of which raffles are included. Some states, such as California, do not allow fundraising raffles in their jurisdiction even for 501(c)3 organizations. Be sure to check with your state’s Attorney General office before planning a raffle to determine regulations surrounding nonprofit raffles in your state.  Organizations that are based in states where raffle fundraising is not legal will not be able to run raffles on our platform.

Raffle Website Pricing

Select the pricing option that works best for you. You can either select to pay a percentage of all funds raised, or allow your supporters to optionally place a tip to cover platform fees. When using the tip pricing option, your donors will receive extra raffle entries for making a tip. In this way, you can run a raffle free of charge. All of this is managed in the raffle software.
