Fundraising Raffles
A raffle is a fantastic way to raise funds, highlight your cause and encourage supporters to involve their friends and relatives. You can target existing and new leads, it can also be a good way to refresh your supporter base and create publicity.
Raffles can be used alongside other fundraising methods and work well when celebrating an anniversary or seasonal event.

Raffle Management Service |
Under our Raffle Management Service we look after all the elements of your raffle – both outbound and inbound. You would have a dedicated experienced Account Manager who would be your key point of contact and who would ensure your raffle would run smoothly.
We work with a number of printers around the country in order to be able to source the best price and quality for your outbound mail. We liaise closely with the printer to ensure your tickets meet your requirements and are legally compliant. The elements of your outbound campaign that we will undertake includes:
- Sourcing the best print price / quality and design.
- Schedule planning.
- Proofing of your raffle pack.
- Managing the printing to ensure deadlines are met.
- Using Mailsort wherever possible.
