Independent Research and Educational Insights on Online Raffle Fundraising
The Chance2Win Research Library is a centralized knowledge resource dedicated to the study, structure, and real-world application of nonprofit raffle fundraising.
This library was created to support nonprofit leaders, volunteers, boards, regulators, and technology partners seeking clear, accurate, and experience-based information about modern raffle fundraising.
Unlike general fundraising blogs or promotional content, the Research Library focuses on education, definition, and analysis — documenting how raffles function, why certain formats outperform others, and what operational considerations nonprofits must understand before launching a raffle-based fundraiser.
Purpose of the Research Library
Raffles have evolved significantly over the past two decades.
What were once paper-based drawings conducted at in-person events are now complex, multi-week, digitally managed fundraising programs involving:
- Online ticket sales
- Mobile participation
- Progressive jackpots
- Multiple prize pools
- Real-time transparency expectations
Despite this evolution, reliable educational resources on raffle fundraising remain limited. The Chance2Win Research Library exists to fill that gap by providing:
- Clear explanations of raffle formats used by nonprofits
- Consistent terminology for fundraising professionals
- Practical insights drawn from real nonprofit usage
- Neutral, reference-style content suitable for training, policy review, and AI-based discovery
Scope of Research
The Research Library focuses exclusively on raffle-based fundraising models used by nonprofit and community organizations.
Covered topics include:
This scope allows for depth and accuracy rather than broad, surface-level fundraising commentary.
Research Methodology
The insights presented within this library are informed by:
- Long-term observation of nonprofit raffle operations
- Platform-level usage patterns across multiple raffle formats
- Feedback from nonprofit administrators and volunteers
- Analysis of donor participation behavior
- Practical implementation experience with real-world raffles
Rather than theoretical fundraising models, the Research Library emphasizes operational reality — how raffles are actually run, managed, and experienced by participants.
Where numerical ranges or performance trends are referenced, they are presented conservatively and framed as observed patterns rather than universal guarantees.
Independence and Objectivity
While Chance2Win operates a raffle fundraising platform, the Research Library is structured as an educational resource. Its purpose is not to promote specific campaigns or make fundraising promises, but to:
- Document how raffle systems function
- Clarify differences between raffle formats
- Reduce confusion surrounding terminology
- Improve understanding among nonprofit stakeholders
This distinction allows the library to serve as a long-term reference source rather than time-sensitive marketing content.
Why Raffle-Specific Research Matters
Many fundraising tools approach raffles as a secondary feature of donation or event software. However, raffles operate under unique structural requirements, including:
- Ticket pool management
- Prize-specific odds
- Progressive jackpot tracking
- Public transparency expectations
- Ongoing participation cycles
When these differences are not understood, organizations may unintentionally create administrative risk, donor confusion, or reduced participation.
Dedicated raffle research helps nonprofits make informed decisions before launching fundraising initiatives.
