Sweepstakes FAQ
What is the difference between a raffle and a sweepstakes?
Raffles require a purchase to enter, so raffles are considered a form of gambling (except for charitable use). Sweepstakes must allow for a free method of entry, so they aren’t considered gambling, allowing for additional fundraising flexibility.
Do I have to be a 501(c) nonprofit organization to run a sweepstakes?
Nope! Any organization, including corporations, can run a sweepstakes. Sweepstakes are often used for corporate/nonprofit partnerships.
Are charity sweepstakes legal?
In general, sweepstakes are legal as long as you offer a method of entry that doesn’t require a purchase. Also, participants who make a donation or purchase to receive additional entries cannot be favored over those who enter for free.
Can I offer any type of prize for my sweepstakes?
Feel free to get creative! You can offer any type of prize for your sweepstakes (as long as it’s legal). Some groups offer celebrity experiences as their prize!
