You can also have multiple winners- split the pot two ways or more.

Build your cash prize from donations from your whole Experience, or from Raffle entries only (choose all Raffle entries, or just the Enhanced 50/50 Raffle). Now that’s a flex!

Case Study
Snapshot

The St. Francis de Sales School raised over 40% more funds in a ¼ of the time with RallyUp Raffles 

  • The St. Francis de Sales School ran two Raffles to raise funds for student scholarships and their school football program.
  • Every donation stood a chance to win tickets to the historical 119th UM vs. OSU Football Game.
  • They powered up student fundraising with RallyUp’s Peer-to-Peer by giving out prizes to daily leaders and ranking classrooms by ticket sales.
  • With RallyUp they only had to fundraise for 9 days, versus their previous 6 weeks, and raised over 40% more!

“RallyUp’s user interface is stellar, the live chat and backend management are unparalleled. The RallyUp platform instilled a lot of confidence in our users and donors. When we discovered RallyUp, we thought, okay, this is what we have been looking for!”

“RallyUp is Efficient, Easy & Pleasant!”

We utilize it during our United Way campaign for raffles across our region, sending it to over 5,000 employees. Our experience has always been positive – from the ease of creating our raffle to the customer service we receive. We specifically worked with support team last year and hope to work with them again in the future. We would recommend RallyUp to any organization/business looking to have a fun, engaging and professional experience. We have actually recommended RallyUp to our other regions within our company!

Review from Capterra

“Non-Profit Fundraising with Ease”

We ran a raffle for 21 days (a little too long) and had a very successful raffle. Our representative was available via email and telephone anytime we encountered issues (which was usually user error :-). The site was easy to navigate and I am in my late 50’s so by no means a Tech person. I uploaded our prizes, entered the cost per ticket and we were ready to go. There was a section where we were able to upload our organization’s story and photos of our members. This made the site personalized to our organization and very professional look and feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Creating your first RallyUp Raffle? See answers to the most frequently asked questions about Raffle fundraisers.

Is it legal to run a Raffle?

n the United States, federal regulations allow 501(c) nonprofits to run Raffles., but each state (and sometimes county or city) has its own regulations. Non-US countries and territories will also have their own laws and regulations.

Once you create a RallyUp account, you will receive further information about your organization’s eligibility to run a Raffle. If you have additional questions, contact your legal team or local government office.

Do I need a license or permit to run an online Raffle?

Yes, you may need a license or permit depending on your state’s laws, as regulations vary across the U.S. For example, states like Alabama, California, and Hawaii prohibit online raffles. It’s best to consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with local requirements.

Can individuals or for-profit businesses run Raffles in the U.S.?

Individuals and for-profit businesses cannot run Raffles for personal causes but can do so on behalf of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a special setup process to ensure legal compliance.

Are online Raffles allowed across state lines?

Cross-state raffles are complex due to varying state regulations. It’s possible but challenging, and you should consult a lawyer to navigate the legal requirements.

Do I have to register my Raffle with the IRS or report the funds?

As a 501(c) organization, you likely need to report raffle proceeds to the IRS, typically on Form 990, but specific requirements depend on the amount raised and your tax status.

How do I create an online Raffle page?

Log into RallyUp, select “Raffles” as the fundraiser type, and customize your page with prizes, entry levels, and branding. The platform supports prize-based and 50/50 Raffles, making setup user-friendly.

How should I price my Raffle tickets?

Offer multiple entry levels, like 10 entries for $10 or 50 for $25, to encourage participation. Tailor pricing to your audience and fundraising goals for maximum engagement.

Is there a minimum or maximum price limit for Raffle tickets?

RallyUp imposes no minimum or maximum price limits, giving you the flexibility to set ticket prices as needed.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of Raffle tickets I can issue?

There are no minimum or maximum limits on ticket numbers. You can set goals, like selling 50 to 1,000 tickets, based on your needs.

What happens if I haven’t sold the minimum number of tickets by the draw date?

You can choose to extend the Raffle period or proceed with the current ticket sales at your discretion.

Can Raffle participants purchase more than one ticket?

Yes, participants can buy multiple tickets, which can increase engagement and revenue.

What types of prizes work best for Raffles?

Effective prizes include gift cards, electronics, experiences (e.g., vacations), or cash for 50/50 raffles. Choose prizes that align with your audience’s interests.

What’s the difference between an entry and a ticket?

Tickets are not the same as entries. You can sell multiple entries in a single ticket. At RallyUp, one entry means that you have one chance to win. So, one ticket can carry many chances to win for your donor. For instance – a $10 ticket can carry 10 entries for your donor, or 10 chances to win. You decide on the entry value. We find that offering more entries per ticket has a positive impact on sales!
When you assign entry value to your tickets, it also makes it possible to offer entries as an incentive for people to promote your Raffle – at no extra cost or impact on your ticket price.

What are the best ways to promote an online Raffle?

Use social media campaigns with hashtags like #raffle4good, email marketing to donor lists, and RallyUp’s Sharing Rewards feature, which gives bonus entries for sharing. Include high-quality prize images to attract buyers.

How do I ensure the Raffle draw is fair and transparent?

Use RallyUp’s automatic random selection for fairness or conduct a manual draw via livestream to ensure transparency.

What information is collected from Raffle ticket buyers?

Typically, name, email, and payment details are collected, but you can customize fields based on your needs.

How is the Raffle winner selected?

Winners are selected randomly via RallyUp’s automatic system or manually by the organization, with options for livestreaming manual draws.

How do I know the drawing is random?

RallyUp’s automatic draw ensures randomness through its system. For manual draws, livestreaming and clear processes (e.g., using a physical draw) maintain transparency.

How do I announce the Raffle winners and distribute prizes?

Announce winners via automatic RallyUp emails or manually (e.g., through social media or email). Distribute prizes based on type—ship physical items or transfer cash electronically.

What happens if I distribute a Raffle prize, and the recipient doesn’t receive it?

Follow up with the winner to resolve the issue. Have a backup plan, like redrawing or offering an alternative prize.

How long does it take to receive the proceeds after a Raffle is drawn?

Proceeds typically take a few days to receive, depending on the payment processor (e.g., Stripe or PayPal).

Do I need a U.S bank account to get paid?

For U.S. organizations, a U.S. bank account is likely required, but international options may be available depending on the payment processor.

How do I track and report on raffle performance?

Use RallyUp’s dashboards to monitor sales, engagement, and funds raised. Integrate with tools like Google Analytics or Meta Pixel for deeper insights into donor behavior.

It’s easier than you think, and it’s more effective than you’d believe
