Why Schools Choose Reverse Raffles

Reverse raffles are one of the most effective school fundraising formats because they keep parents engaged and having fun.

Parent Engagement

Every ticket holder stays involved until the final draw. Parents socialize, bid on side prizes, and become invested in the outcome. It turns fundraising into a community event.

Simple for Volunteers

PTA boards and parent volunteers are busy enough. rafflr requires zero training and zero setup time, so your team can focus on the event itself.

Consistent Fundraising

Run raffles at fall festivals, spring galas, sports banquets, and more. The Annual Plan gives you unlimited events for just $97/year.
