Yes, we ran an old-school, analogue raffle once. We printed tickets, copied out numbers, stood with our kids on the corner hawking one for $2, three for $5. We’ve all fished around for cash to buy 50/50 tickets at hockey games, and entered Dream Home lotteries, keeping our fingers crossed for the win.
And through it all we thought, “Wow. This could be easier.”
All the details — numbers, addresses, licensing, sales, winners and reports — that fundraisers had to keep track of seemed to be a huge distraction and time-suck.
What parents, volunteers, employees, advancement teams, fundraising departments and professional fundraisers have lots of are good ideas and passion. What you don’t have enough of is time and IT expertise.
So we came up with the solutions and became one of the first online fundraising platforms in the world dedicated to streamlining raffle ticket sales, management and reporting for fundraising specialists.
We built a behind-the-scenes tool that keeps your good work front and center
I have used Rafflebox multiple times now and each time I have found the website very user friendly and the tech support exceptional. Any correspondence I have had with support from Rafflebox has been helpful and incredibly friendly. Absolutely recommend using Rafflebox.
