- \n
- Check your state\u2019s raffle laws first<\/strong>. Raffles are treated as gambling in many states, so your nonprofit may need to\u00a0obtain a raffle license or permit first.<\/li>\n
- Confirm that your nonprofit is eligible to host a raffle<\/strong>. Some states limit raffles to certain types of nonprofits or require an organization to have operated for a specific period before it can run one.<\/li>\n
- Pay attention to rules regarding ticket sales<\/strong>. Rules around online ticket sales vary widely by state, with some allowing them and others requiring tickets to be sold in person.<\/li>\n
- Review the rules for prizes and proceeds<\/strong>. States may set limits on prize values, restrict certain types of prizes, or require a specific portion of raffle proceeds to support charitable purposes.<\/li>\n
- Keep the required records and follow reporting rules<\/strong>. Depending on your state, you may need to keep raffle records, file financial reports, display specific information, or hold raffle proceeds separately.<\/li>\n
- Consider a free-entry alternative when a raffle isn\u2019t permitted<\/strong>. Sweepstakes and drawings with a free-entry option are another alternative for engaging supporters without requiring them to purchase a chance to win.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/a>What is a Raffle?<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/us-raffle-laws_what-is-a-raffle-300x200.png\")
<\/p>\nA raffle is a kind of lottery schools, nonprofits, and individuals use to raise money. The fundraiser sells numbered tickets and then draws from those tickets to determine who wins a prize.<\/p>\n
Raffles have been around since the 15th century<\/a>, when they were used to raise money for government buildings and churches. Today they\u2019re a very popular and exciting way to bring in some funds for a good cause.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Who can host a raffle in the U.S.?<\/h3>\n
Broadly speaking, 501(c)(3) nonprofits are allowed to host raffles in the U.S. However, many states require you to register and obtain a raffle license or permit \u2013 whether you have 501(c)(3) status or not.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Why are Raffles Sometimes Illegal?<\/h2>\n
Raffles are often considered a form of gambling in the United States. Winners are randomly selected, making it a game of chance. And because participants purchase raffle tickets, they are paying for \u201cconsideration\u201d \u2013 i.e., pay-to-play gambling.<\/p>\n
Gambling is highly regulated by both federal and state law, which means raffles might be illegal in some states or require additional steps to be permitted.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>What are Some Legal Raffle Alternatives?<\/h2>\n
While raffles aren\u2019t illegal in every state and you may just have to take some additional steps before launching yours, there are a couple of options for legal raffle alternatives.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Sweepstakes<\/h3>\n
Sweepstakes are a great way to generate some buzz about your mission, although they aren\u2019t as effective at raising funds as a raffle.<\/p>\n
Participants can enter your sweepstakes by taking some action that doesn\u2019t require a purchase, such as signing up for your emails or sharing your post on social media.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a>Drawings<\/h3>\n
Drawings and raffles are very similar. The main difference is that raffles almost always require participants to purchase tickets, whereas some drawings have a free entry option.<\/p>\n
When in doubt, offering a free entry option for your sweepstakes or drawing will ensure you\u2019re meeting legal guidelines, as purchase isn\u2019t required.<\/p>\n
