Looking to raise more money for your nonprofit, school, or community cause? Running an online raffle fundraiser is one of the most effective and engaging ways to boost donations—and BetterWorld’s raffle platform makes it easier than ever.

In a recent webinar, BetterWorld’s Head of Marketing, KellyGene, and Head of Support, Sam, walked viewers through how to launch and manage an online raffle fundraiser using BetterWorld’s free tools. Here's what you need to know to set up a high-impact, legally compliant raffle that drives results.

Why Choose an Online Raffle Fundraiser?

“Whether you're a grassroots nonprofit or a seasoned fundraiser, our goal is to help you create a smooth, successful raffle experience,”
