FAQs and suggestions

Q: How can businesses sponsor a charity raffle?

In more ways than donating a prize. They can underwrite your costs, put their name on the headline prize, match sales during a set window, promote your raffle at the counter or encourage their staff to sell tickets.

Q: What should a sponsorship request include?

A specific ask matched to the business, what they'll get in return and a clear next step. A tailored ask beats a generic sponsorship letter every time.

Q: What should I check before promising sponsors anything?

Your raffle permit conditions. Some rules affect how prizes, sponsors and promotions can be presented, so confirm them first.
