Why Sweepstakes?

A sweepstakes fundraiser is the fastest, simplest way to raise money without asking anyone to buy a product. It's the no product fundraiser parents actually want — and a legal sweepstakes for fundraising is a smarter alternative to a traditional online raffle for nonprofits in most states. We handle the legal and operational side so your team can focus on promotion.
