Depends where you are holding the raffle, will depend on whether you need a license or not.... I think the rule is... Public place... license necessary!! If in private place (work, school etc) no license needed!! Plus you should keep a record of the donation and how it was sent to the appeal as then you can prove that they were given the money! |

Not 100% sure but think you can just have an 'on the day' raffle no problem but if you want to sell tickets before hand, - which you probably do to raise more money, - then that sort needs permission, and becomes a draw. My grandson's school has a successful summer draw which local firms/ shops/ businesses are asked to donate to and most do so willingly. Besides being sent a letter of thanks, a list of contributors are posted at the event too. I would think there will be alot of goodwill to donate but you'd better check the legal side with the authorities, as the others here have suggested. |
