Running a raffle or prize draw <\/a>\u00a0is one of the most engaging ways to raise funds. It gives supporters something fun to take part in while helping your cause reach its goals faster.<\/p>\n

But managing ticket sales, keeping track of entries, and making sure everything stays compliant can be a lot to juggle. That\u2019s where using a fundraising platform<\/strong><\/a> like Givergy makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

With Givergy, you can set up a fully compliant online prize draw in just a few steps with no spreadsheets, no manual tracking, and no confusion about who\u2019s won. Everything runs through one easy-to-use platform designed for charities and non-profits.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to get started.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Turn on the Prize Draw feature<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Every great prize draw starts with the right foundation. With Givergy, that means making sure the Prize Draw feature<\/strong> is switched on for your campaign.<\/p>\n

    Head to Campaign Settings \u2192 Features<\/strong> and toggle on \u201cPrize Draws.\u201d Once it\u2019s active, you\u2019ll see it appear in your campaign menu, ready to set up..<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create your prize draw<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Now it\u2019s time to bring your prize draw to life. Click \u201cCreate New Prize Draw\u201d<\/strong> and start filling in the key details that make your campaign unique.<\/p>\n

      You\u2019ll choose where your draw is based, how tickets will be sold, and what prize is up for grabs. Add a clear title, your start and end dates, ticket price, and the total number of tickets available. You can even set a minimum age for participation and decide whether to show or hide the retail value of your prize.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Add your story and images<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Don\u2019t forget that great fundraising tells a compelling story. Use the Description<\/strong> box to share what makes your prize special and why supporters should take part. Keep it a few paragraphs long; short enough to scan, but rich enough to inspire.<\/p>\n

        Then bring your story to life with images. Upload high-quality, landscape photos that look great on phones and tablets. A strong visual connection can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

        And if you\u2019re based in the UK, don\u2019t forget to include your postal entry details<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s a legal requirement for all prize draws.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Preview and activate your draw<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Before you go live, take a moment to see things through your supporters\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n

          Once you\u2019ve saved your details, you\u2019ll see new tabs appear:<\/p>\n
