Introduction

For schools, colleges, and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), fundraising is an essential part of supporting their communities. From purchasing new equipment to funding school trips, raising money can make a significant difference in students’ educational experiences. In recent years, more and more schools and PTAs have turned to Raffall to host their raffles, taking advantage of the platform’s simplicity, security, and widespread appeal.

With over 1,512 schools and PTAs using Raffall, the platform has become a trusted partner for seasonal fundraising efforts, including Christmas, Easter, summer, and autumn raffles. In this article, we’ll explore why so many educational organizations are choosing Raffall for their fundraising raffles and how they are making the most of this easy-to-use platform.

The Simplicity of Raffall for Schools and PTAs

One of the main reasons schools and PTAs are flocking to Raffall is the simplicity it offers. Setting up a raffle on Raffall is incredibly easy, allowing hosts to create and publish their raffles with just a few clicks. Once the raffle is live, organizers can easily share the raffle link within their school communities through WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, or email mailing lists.

Sarah Young, a mother of three at Mayflower County High School, explained why she loves using Raffall:

“I don’t always feel safe making payments online, but when I entered my children’s school raffle, the whole process was so straightforward, and I never once had any fears or worries. I did a bit of research beforehand and saw that Raffall has thousands of excellent Trustpilot reviews, which made me feel even safer.”

Seasonal Raffles: A Popular Fundraising Choice

Seasonal raffles have proven to be incredibly popular for schools and PTAs, with Christmas raffles being a fan favorite. However, raffles are also commonly held during other key times of the year, such as Easter, summer, and autumn. These seasonal raffles offer a great way to get parents, teachers, and local businesses involved, with many donating prizes to help support the cause.

By hosting these raffles during seasonal events, schools can maximise participation, as families are already in a giving mood during festive periods. The variety of prizes offered—ranging from gift hampers to holiday experiences—ensures there is something for everyone.

Donated Prizes: A Key to Profitable Raffles

A major reason why Raffall is so profitable for schools and PTAs is the common practice of receiving donated prizes from parents, local businesses, and the wider community. With no prize costs to consider, nearly all the funds raised through ticket sales go directly to the school or PTA.

Prizes can range from local restaurant vouchers to home-made gift baskets, and even larger items like electronics or family outings. The generosity of the community often turns these raffles into highly successful fundraising efforts.

Trusted by Schools and Parents Alike

Raffall’s reputation for being a secure and trusted platform has been a key factor in its popularity among schools and parents. Many users have left positive Trustpilot reviews, noting the platform’s ease of use, security, and transparency. The trust in Raffall has made it a go-to choice for educational organizations looking to run stress-free raffles.

Sarah Young shared her experience as a parent entering her children’s school raffles:

“Before entering the raffle, I wanted to ensure everything was safe. After seeing thousands of positive reviews for Raffall on Trustpilot, I felt confident entering. The whole process was smooth, and I’ve heard great feedback from other parents as well.”

With Raffall handling everything from ticket sales to winner selection, parents feel safe entering raffles knowing their payments are secure and the process is transparent.
