Raffle

A classic fundraising method which can be held as a standalone event or incorporated into another fundraising event to boost donations.   You can be traditional or get creative, such as holding a rainbow raffle where donations are made into coloured hampers.

How do I get started?

Get a raffle number book if using paper tickets or sign up for a free online raffle organiser where tickets can be purchased remotely.

Ask around to see what prizes your contacts or local businesses are willing to donate. Prizes could include sharing time and expertise, as well as vouchers or gifts.  Alternatively ask colleagues or friends to bring a raffle item, these can be small as you can always make hampers from the donations.  Consider offering those who donate prizes a shout-out in your raffle as a thank you.

Pick a date and time for your raffle, and use our downloadable poster to advertise it.

Charge per ticket entry and donate the money to Societi.

Make sure you check whether you need a gambling license for your event, and confirm that you’re following legal requirements.
