Fundraising for schools, colleges, and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) is like adding a splash of magic to education—it makes dreams like new equipment, exciting trips, and awesome school events possible! These days, schools and PTAs are making their fundraising fun and effortless by turning to Raffaly, a platform that's simple, secure, and has wide appeal.
With multiple schools and PTAs already onboard, Raffaly has become a superstar partner for seasonal fundraisers like Christmas, Easter, summer, and autumn raffles. In this article, we'll dive into why Raffaly is a go-to for educational organizations and how they're using it to create exciting, successful raffles.
Why Schools and PTAs Love Raffaly
Fundraising Made Simple
If fundraising feels like climbing a mountain, Raffaly is the ski lift that gets you there quickly and easily! Setting up a raffle takes just a few clicks, and once it's live, sharing it is as easy as sending a message on WhatsApp, posting in Facebook groups, or emailing parents.
Seasonal Raffles: Fun All Year Round
Who doesn't love a festive raffle? Christmas raffles are the top pick for schools and PTAs, but why stop there? Easter, summer, and autumn raffles are also huge hits! These seasonal events bring out the giving spirit in parents, teachers, and local businesses, who often pitch in with fantastic donated prizes.
The holidays make families feel generous, and schools make the most of it by offering prizes like gift baskets, tech gadgets, and even once-in-a-lifetime experiences. There's something for everyone, making these raffles a community favorite!
Donated Prizes = More Funds
Here's a fundraising secret: donated prizes make raffles even more profitable! When parents, local businesses, and the community pitch in, every pound raised through ticket sales goes straight to the school.
From cozy homemade gift baskets to exciting restaurant vouchers and high-tech gadgets, these prizes create buzz and bring in the bucks. It's a win-win for everyone!
Raffaly is easy to use and Liam was brilliant at answering questions quickly and helping us to set up our raffle. People really appreciated being able to participate as a guest without having to create a profile too. The commission is competitively priced, which matters as we're raising funds for charity. We hope to continue using Raffaly for our 2 yearly raffles going forward.
A Platform You Can Trust
Raffaly handles the tricky stuff—like ticket sales and winner selection—so schools and PTAs can focus on spreading the word and celebrating their success.
The Raffaly platform was easy to use and the team were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The platform enabled us to share our raffle widely, and also track ticket sales. Once the raffle was drawn winners were notified quickly. Thanks to the Raffaly platform our raffle was a huge success!
