Case Study: Community Sports Club Raffle
How a local football club raised £4,850 in 14 days using NFS DONATE's online raffle platform.
Overview
Organisation - Local amateur football club
Goal - Fund new training equipment and pitch hire
Solution - Online raffle via NFS DONATE
The Challenge
Paper raffles and cash collection limited the club's reach and created unnecessary admin for volunteers. Supporters outside the local area couldn't participate, and tracking entries was time-consuming.
The Solution
The club launched an online raffle promoted through social media, messaging apps, and SMS. Supporters could enter from anywhere, paying by credit card, Apple Pay, or SMS - with everything tracked automatically.
£4,850 raised
In just 14 days - exceeding the club's original target.
600+ tickets sold
With no cash handling or manual entry tracking.
Minimal volunteer time
Automatic winner draw, reporting, and notifications handled by the platform.
"The raffle paid for our entire season's equipment in two weeks. Setup was simple and supporters found it easy to take part."
