What are Online Sweepstakes for Charities?

Online sweepstakes are giveaways that provide an easy way for nonprofits to raise funds. Charity sweepstakes give donors a chance to win a prize or prizes, often in exchange for a donation. With sweepstakes, a free method of entry must also be offered in addition to donation-based entries.

If you’re looking for a fundraising campaign to grow your audience and engage supporters, running charity sweepstakes may be a great solution for your organization. Nonprofits, charities, schools, and businesses can run online sweepstakes campaigns.

Sharing Rewards for Social Referrals

One of the most powerful ways to advertise your sweepstakes is via your supporters’ social media channels. You can incentivize social referrals by running contests that allow your supporters to earn entries by referring their friends to your sweepstakes.

Sharing Rewards for Social Referrals

Sharing rewards is a feature of our sweepstakes platform that helps organizations attract new donors and increase donations by motivating your supporters to promote your experience. As a reward for sharing and bringing new donors to your campaign, supporters can receive free bonus entries into your online sweepstakes.

Charity Raffles vs. Sweepstakes

Charity raffles and sweepstakes have one main thing in common: they are giveaways that offer donors a chance to win a prize or prizes. Charity sweepstakes generally have fewer geographic regulatory restrictions than raffles, and entries can be sold nationally or even internationally. When organizations aim to extend outreach to a broader audience, charity sweepstakes can often have a further reach.

Charity Raffles vs Sweepstakes

While sweepstakes allow organizations to reach a vast audience because of the lessened geographical restrictions, a free method of entry must be offered in addition to donation-based entries. This is not true with raffles and is the main difference between charity sweepstakes and raffles. For this reason, sweepstakes are often not considered gambling or gaming in the same way that raffles are and can be utilized in some states and regions where raffles are prohibited.

Successful Fundraising Sweepstakes Essentials – The Prizes

When you run a sweepstake, one of the first and most important decisions is what you want to give away as a prize. Appealing prizes make successful charity sweepstakes. Popular prize ideas include cars or other vehicles, vacation packages, house and garden makeovers, and cash prizes.

Though you always want to ask for donations first, don’t limit your fundraising sweepstakes to a donated item. This is a mistake that many organizations make, as they want to keep all of the sweepstakes proceeds. Yet organizations can raise far more money with desirable, high-value prizes. If your school or organization wants to raise $10,000 or even more on a fundraising sweepstakes, you will likely need to purchase the grand prize. This is easy to implement with our unique travel packages.
