An Honest Note About What rafflr Doesn't Do

rafflr is a specialist tool, not a general fundraising platform. That focus is what makes it the best at what it does. But it does mean there are things it intentionally does not include:

  • No online ticket sales. You sell tickets your way (at the door, in advance, however you want). rafflr manages the drawing, not the selling.
  • No built-in payment processing. rafflr does not collect money from ticket buyers. Use your existing methods (cash, Venmo, Square, whatever works for your organization).
  • No donor CRM. rafflr focuses on the event experience, not donor relationship management. If you need a CRM, pair rafflr with your existing tools.

If you need online ticket sales or donor management as your primary feature, platforms like RallyUp or Zeffy may be a better fit. But if your priority is running an incredible in-person reverse raffle event, rafflr is purpose-built for exactly that.
