The power of raffles: the unsung hero of the fundraising mix

For charities and non-profits, creating a diverse and effective fundraising mix is fundamental. It ensures sustainable income streams and broadens audience engagement. While donor programmes and large-scale events receive well-deserved attention, there’s an unsung hero that is often overlooked: raffles. Despite their simplicity, raffles hold the power to significantly boost fundraising revenue. At StarVale, we help non-profits build successful raffles that complement the overall fundraising mix and create a new income stream.

Meet your new fundraising champion

Raffles can deliver significant results by boosting and diversifying your fundraising revenue. Here are just a few reasons why they’re the stand-out champion you need to add to your fundraising mix:

• Expand reach: by offering major prizes such as dream holidays or substantial one-off cash rewards, raffles are a unique way to appeal to a wider audience and attract new supporters.
• Cultivate loyalty: raffle subscriptions encourage repeat engagement, building a dedicated base committed to your cause. This means supporters can be set up to buy tickets every time you have a raffle.
• Amplify generosity: when purchasing a ticket, supporters can round up their ticket price with a donation.
• Complement other channels: raffles enable cross-pollination across other fundraising initiatives, helping expand the overall fundraising result.
