Online raffles with People's Fundraising

A simple way to run an online fundraising raffle

Raffles are a familiar and engaging way to raise money. They give supporters the opportunity to help your cause while also having the chance to win a prize.

With People's Fundraising, your raffle has its own online page where supporters can find out what they could win, see when ticket sales open and close and when the draw takes place, purchase tickets and learn more about the cause their participation is helping to support.

Whether you are organising a school summer fair, Christmas raffle, charity fundraising campaign, club fundraiser or community event, you can manage your raffle as part of the same People's Fundraising platform you use for your other fundraising activities.

More than an online raffle platform

One of the biggest advantages of People's Fundraising is that your raffle doesn't have to operate on its own.

People's Fundraising brings together 17 fundraising tools in one platform. Alongside your raffle, you can accept donations, sell event tickets, run auctions and tombolas, create fundraising pages, manage memberships, sell products and use Fast Payments at physical events.

This gives your organisation more ways to engage supporters and more opportunities to raise funds without having to operate a collection of separate fundraising systems.
