Why Choose Zero-Fee Fundraising Raffle

Keep 100% of Every Ticket

Your organization pays nothing—ever. A small 12% service fee is automatically shown at checkout and covered by the supporter, so all ticket revenue goes directly to your cause.

Fast, Simple Setup

Launch your raffle in a day. Add prizes, set ticket prices, and start raising funds with all money processed by your Stripe payment processor. If you don’t have Stripe – you can easily set one up for your organization during the site setup process.

Perfect for Budget-Conscious Fundraisers

Ideal for small nonprofits, PTAs, church groups, and community projects where every dollar matters.

The Fine Print (Because Even Fun Raffles Need Rules 😄)

  • Zero Fee Fundraising only plays nice when using your nonprofit’s own Stripe account—it’s how we keep things smooth, secure, and delightfully fee-free for you.
  • Every Zero Fee Raffle adds a tiny 12% supporter-paid service fee. This covers everything—including Stripe’s credit card fees—so your organization keeps the full value of every ticket.
  • Manual or offline ticket entries are absolutely allowed… in moderation. You can add them up to 5% of your total raffle sales before the system gently (but firmly) taps the brakes.
  • Zero Fee Raffles come with one organization user account. Think of it as “one login to rule them all.

Why Choose Premium Fundraising Raffle

Total Pricing Control

Decide ticket prices and how fees are handled. Great for large organizations and sponsored events needing flexibility and want to use their own payment processing like Square or Authorize.net. You can add a service fee to be paid by your supporters on checkout which goes directly to your organization.

Transparent, Low Platform Fee

A predictable platform fee covers hosting, and premium features—no hidden charges. The lowest by half of any raffle website platform. You can choose to collect a service fee if you want to offset expenses
