Societies are always looking for ways to raise more money to help boost their reserves. There are many ways they can achieve this goal including obtaining loans from traditional banks, but there’s a simpler and smarter strategy that tips the scales in their favor, and that’s running a charity lottery.

It works all the time and money rolls in fairly easy after that. So why’s lottery charity funding strategy so effective? It’s simple, exciting and painless to execute. That’s why.

A society or charity organizes a fete or a party or whatever event that will bring people together. Then incentivizes giving to a charity using prizes in the form of cash. These money prizes are later awarded to winners on a weekly basis while the charity keep all the profits. It’s a smart and consistent strategy.

Societies rely on people’s generosity to remain profitable

For the record, lottery charity funding has been around for centuries raising money for just about anything – soup kitchens to halls roofing to sanctuaries for donkeys in old English villages. It’s an easy way to raise funds that in turn gets charity’s coffers bursting from the seams.

That’s why a lot of societies today are organizing charity lotteries and earning enviable profits that keeps their systems rolling. In other words, lottery charity funding helps grow a society’s infrastructure and activities. You could also say charities rely on people’s generosity to remain profitable over time.

A lottery charity funding has a timeframe

The longevity of a charity is largely determinant on the profits required or needed. So, in essence, you can have a charity lottery running for a week or even a year while recruiting more members.

The more the members are trying their luck to win cash prizes in a charity’s lottery, the more they’re supporting its cause, which is to raise more funds and make more profits.

Remember: charities keep 100% of all profits from the charity lotteries. But while it’s a great way for societies to earn a sustainable profit to cater for their financial needs, a charity lottery has a timeframe. That means societies can’t rely 100% on direct donations to sustain them for the long haul.

Is it risky to run a charity lottery?

Not at all because charities stand to make more money in the early stages of the lottery. The profits and weekly (or yearly) turnovers can be more than expected, and that’s a good thing for any society/charity.

To avert risks of losing money or profits, it’s necessary to employ an external lottery manager tasked with managing all profits coming in. They have to make sure lottery winners are also equally paid in a timely fashion including jackpot winners.

Or else, the lottery will come across as a sham. Losing its credibility from participating members. But if managed well, a charity lottery is an exciting, helpful and efficient way to raise funds for any society.
