Fundraising in the UK is getting a boost following the success of the revolutionary online fundraising platform, Raffle.it (http://raffle.it/)
Non-profit organisations, schools and universities can now use the Raffle.it online fundraising service to offer great inspirational prizes and generate large-scale interest and ticket sales in a non-competitive, sustainable online environment.
Raffle.it removes the time and complexity normally associated with running a raffle by sourcing the prizes, hosting the raffles, engaging with participants, processing the payments and helping organisations sell raffle tickets via their own website. 80% of the profits from each group’s ticket sales are guaranteed as operating costs are spread across all tickets issued.
People taking part in the raffles aim to pick the lowest uniquely numbered ticket in order to win the raffle game. Once a person buys a ticket, Raffle.it lets them know if the number they have selected is unique. This gives that person the opportunity to purchase further tickets to remain in the raffle, thereby encouraging further ticket sales for the benefit of the charities involved.
The Raffle.it service is simple and easy to use. Participating organisations receive a unique web link or widget to add to their own website and connects to the range of raffles hosted by Raffle.it.
Pascal Wheeler, founder of Raffle.it explains: “Raffle.it takes the risk out of fundraising for charities of any size. Prizes that will attract consumer interest can often be hard to find and few people have the time to manage the sales and administration normally associated with running a raffle. Raffle.it removes the hassle, and makes this fun and effective form of fundraising available to even the smallest group.”
